(a) Charges are a lien. Unpaid fees charged pursuant to this chapter are a lien upon the premises subject to the application for permit. If not paid within thirty days after the fees become due and payable, the Finance Director, at the direction of the City Manager, may certify the unpaid amount due to the County Auditor. The Auditor shall place the delinquent amount upon the tax duplicate with interest at the highest rate permitted by Ohio law and cause such amount to be collected as are other real estate taxes. The effective date for a lien shall be the date of certification to the County Auditor.
(b) Suspension of Plan Reviews and Application Processing. No plans or other submittal documents shall be accepted for review and/or processing, and the review of documents or processing of any application in progress shall cease, if the applicant fails to pay any fees which are due and payable to the Municipality in accordance with this chapter or other Municipal regulations.
(c) Interest. Costs due and owing the Municipality shall bear interest at the rate allowed under Ohio law for judgments if such amount is not paid within 30 days of invoice date.
