(A) The City Recorder shall maintain a record of the city’s costs in processing a claim, including the costs of obtaining information required by § 36.32 of this subchapter which a property owner does not provide to the city. Following final action by the city on the claim at the local level, the City Recorder shall send to the property owner a bill for the actual costs, including staff and legal costs, that the city incurred in reviewing and acting on the claim. The fees and a deposit to ensure payment thereof shall be set by resolution and may, from time to time, be amended by the City Council. If the property owner does not pay the amount due within 30 days, then the city shall pursue collection, including filing a lien on the property.
