1 9 fine is due. Any unpaid penalty, interest, or other fee shall
1 10 constitute a lien on the real property and shall be collected
1 11 in the same manner as general taxes.
1 12 Sec. 2. Section 364.17, subsection 5, Code 2003, is
1 13 amended to read as follows:
1 14 5. Cities may establish reasonable fees for inspection and
1 15 enforcement procedures. A city may charge the owner of
1 16 housing, which is not occupied by the owner, a late payment
1 17 penalty of twenty-five dollars plus interest of up to one and
1 18 one-half percent per month if a fee imposed under this
1 19 subsection is not paid within thirty days of the date that the
1 20 fee is due. Any unpaid penalty, interest, or other fee shall
1 21 constitute a lien on the real property and shall be collected

1 23 EXPLANATION
1 24 Under current law civil penalties and criminal fines may be
1 25 imposed for the violation of city housing codes; cities may
1 26 also impose fees for inspection and enforcement procedures.
1 27 This bill allows a city to impose late payment and interest
1 28 charges for nonresident owners for the late payment of these
1 29 penalties, fines, and fees. If these penalties, fines, and
1 30 fees remain unpaid, they will constitute a lien on the
1 31 property.
