A. A right to a lien shall arise immediately upon the providing of collection service. If the charge, rental, receptacle use fee, or collection fee is not paid 30 days after it has become due and payable, the city may issue a notice and claim of lien setting forth the following information:
1. Name of the person, or commercial or residential generator, owing the charge, rental, receptacle, or collection fee;
2. The amount owed;
3. The penalty accrued to date;
4. The calendar period(s) for which the charges, rentals, or receptacle or collection fees are due and owing; and
5. A statement that the city claims a lien therefor.
B. The notice and claim of lien shall be issued under the official seal of the city, signed by the Mayor and recorded in the office of the County Recorder. The amount stated in the lien shall be a lien upon all real and personal property of the person, or commercial or residential refuse generator, located in the county. The lien shall be subject and inferior to the lien for general taxes and to all prior recorded mortgages and encumbrances of record.
C. A lien claimed under this section shall not continue for more than three years after it has been recorded, unless an action is brought within the period to enforce the lien.
D. Any lien claimed pursuant to this section shall, upon payment of the entire amount due, be released by the city in the same manner as mortgages and judgments are released.
E. A prior lien, recorded for the purposes of this section, shall not constitute a bar to the recordation of a subsequent lien or liens for the purposes.
