929.13 BILLING; FAILURE TO REMIT FEES.

   The fee referenced in Section 929.12 shall be billed quarterly and shall be payable to the Contractor under terms described by them in the City's Contract. By June 1 of each year, the Contractor will notify the Director of Finance of all accounts that are greater than 120 days delinquent. The Director of Finance may do either or both of the following:

   (a)   Certify unpaid charges for recycling collection, together with any penalties and collection charges, to the County Auditor, who shall place the certified amount on the real property tax list and duplicate against the property served by the service. The amount certified shall be a lien on the property served from the date placed on the list and duplicate and shall be collected in the same manner as other taxes, except that, notwithstanding Ohio R.C. 323.15, a County Treasurer shall accept a payment in such amount when separately tendered as payment for the full amount of such recycling collection charges and associated penalties. The lien shall be released immediately upon payment in full of the certified amount. Unless the Director of Finance determines that a transfer of the property is about to occur, the Director of Finance may only make a certification under this section if the rents or charges have been due and unpaid for at least sixty days and the Director of Finance or other official or body has provided the owner of the property with written notice of the impending certification at least thirty days prior to the certification.
