(A) In the event a deed is filed for recordation or there is an assignment of beneficial interest within the corporate limits of the village without the transfer stamps provided by this chapter, it is deemed a violation of the code and is subject to a lien being declared against said real estate conveyed or assignment of beneficial interest in the amount no less than $250 and no more than $750. The fact that the deed or assignment does not contain a Tinley Park transfer stamp shall constitute constructive notice of the lien. The lien may be enforced by proceedings to foreclose, as in cases of mortgages or mechanics’ liens. Suit to foreclose this lien must be commenced within three years after the date of recording the deed. Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing the village from bringing a civil action to collect the fee imposed by this chapter from any person who has the ultimate liability for payment of the same, including interest and penalties as hereinbelow provided.
(B) Whenever any person shall fail to pay any fees herein provided, or any purchaser or grantee shall accept a conveyance where the fee has not been paid, the Village Attorney shall, upon request of the Village Manager, bring or cause to be brought an action to enforce the payment of said fee, including interest and penalties as hereinbelow provided, on behalf of the village in any court of competent jurisdiction.
