HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
SECTION 101325-101350




101325.  Whenever the governing body of any city or county
determines that the expenses of the local health officer or other
officers or employees in the enforcement of any statute, order,
quarantine, or regulation prescribed by a state officer or department
relating to public health, requires or authorizes its health officer
or other officers or employees to perform specified acts that are
not met by fees prescribed by the state, the governing body may adopt
an ordinance or resolution prescribing fees to pay the reasonable
expenses of the health officer or other officers or employees
incurred in the enforcement, and may authorize a direct assessment
against the real property in cases where the real property is owned
by the operator of a business and the property is the subject of the
enforcement. The schedule of fees prescribed by ordinance or
resolution of the governing body shall be applicable in the area in
which the local health officer or other officers or employees enforce
any statute, order, quarantine, or regulation prescribed by a state
officer or department relating to public health.



101330.  On or before August of each year, the officer designated by
the governing body to collect fees authorized by Section 101325,
shall prepare a list of parcels of real property that are subject to
these fees. On or before the tenth day of August of each year, the
officer shall transmit the list to the county auditor and the auditor
shall enter the amounts of the assessments against the respective
parcels of land as they appear on the current assessment roll.



101335.  The tax collector shall include the amounts of the
assessments entered on the assessment roll pursuant to Section 101330
on bills for taxes levied against lots and parcels of land, and the
assessments shall be listed separately on the tax bills. Thereafter,
the assessment amounts shall be collected at the same time and in the
same manner as county taxes are collected.
   If a county collects the assessments on behalf of a city, the
county may deduct its reasonable costs incurred for its collections
services before remitting the balance to the city treasury.




101340.  All laws applicable to the levy, collection, and
enforcement of county taxes are applicable to special assessments
made pursuant to this article and Article 4.



101345.  In those instances where direct assessment is not
authorized by Section 101325, if the officer charged with the billing
and collection of the fees is a county officer, the officer may,
with the approval of the governing body, record without fee, in the
office of the county recorder, a certificate specifying the amount,
interest, penalty due, and the name and last known address of the
person liable for these fees. If the officer charged with the billing
and collection of these fees is a city officer, the officer, with
the approval of the governing body may, in those instances where
direct assessment is not authorized by Section 101325, record with
reasonable fee charge, in the office of the county recorder a
certificate specifying the amount, interest, penalty due, name, and
last known address of the person liable for these fees. From the time
of recording of the certificate, the amount required to be paid
together with interest and penalty constitutes a lien upon all real
property in the county owned or later acquired by the liable person.
The lien created by recording this certificate shall have the force,
effect, and priority of a judgment lien and shall continue for 10
years from the time of the recording unless released or otherwise
discharged prior to that time. Prior to recording the lien with the
county recorder, the lienor shall notify the person liable for the
fees by certified mail of the intent to record the certificate.




101350.  Any board of supervisors may levy a special tax on all the
property in the county, outside of any city pursuant to Article 3.5
(commencing with Section 50075) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 1
of Title 5 of the Government Code, and spend the proceeds to prevent
the introduction of, and to eradicate, dangerous, infectious, or
communicable diseases, and for general sanitation purposes.
