The alarm user shall be liable for all collection costs incurred by the City including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees and court costs.
B. If the emergency service charge remains unpaid for thirty (30) days after the notice of delinquency is sent, the City Council may also, on or before October 15 of each year, certify the unpaid emergency service charge to the County Auditor in which the recipient of the services owns real property for collection with property taxes.
