The amount of any charge, assessment or tax due and owing to the city, whether arising as a consequence of unpaid water or sewer utility charges or fees, emergency or other utility repairs, unpaid charges or assessments for removal of rubbish, weeds, or abatement of nuisances or dangerous buildings, false alarm service fee, unpaid obligations arising under site improvement agreements or property development agreements, or any other charge, assessment, tax or fee assessed by the city under any provision of this municipal code, shall be a lien upon the property served until the same is paid. All such unpaid charges, assessments or taxes, upon becoming delinquent, shall become a lien on the real property so served. In case of failure to pay said charge, the City Clerk may certify the charge or charges to the Arapahoe County Treasurer and said charge or charges shall become a lien on the real property so served and shall be collected in the same manner as though they were a part of the taxes assessed against said property together with the cost of collection. All laws of the state for the assessment and collection of general taxes, including the laws for the sale of property for taxes and redemption of the same, shall apply. (Ord. 1998-11 § 1)
