(a) The County may refer the debt to the Auditor and Controller for collection.
(b) The County may file a civil action to recover the debt.

The lien shall continue until all fines, late payment charges, and other costs owed are fully paid. Any lien imposed pursuant to this chapter shall attach upon the recordation of a notice of code enforcement lien in the Office of the County Recorder.
