A. At its discretion, the town may pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies to collect unpaid fines imposed pursuant to this chapter. Pursuit of one remedy does not preclude the pursuit of any other remedy. It is intended that persons causing, maintaining, and/or permitting the violation, and not the taxpayers, bear the financial burden of the town’s code enforcement efforts. Remedies available to the town to collect unpaid fines and costs include the following without limitation:

B. The town shall be entitled to recover all costs related to enforcing any violations that are recoverable under Government Code Sections 38771 et seq. and 54988, or any other local, state or federal law. Before invoking any of the procedures described in this section, the town shall provide notice to the property owner (if different from the responsible person) based on San Mateo County’s last equalized property tax assessment roll, or the supplemental roll, whichever is more current.

C. Any person who fails to pay any fine or penalty shall be liable in any proceeding brought by the town for the costs incurred in securing payment of the unpaid amount, including without limitation, administrative costs and attorneys’ fees. Such collection costs shall be in addition to any penalties, interest, and/or late charges imposed upon the unpaid fine. (Ord. 585 § 1 (part), 2010)
