Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by adding |
Section 9-2-4.5 as follows:
|
(65 ILCS 5/9-2-4.5 new) |
Sec. 9-2-4.5. Special assessment for payment of costs |
associated with certain ordinance violations. |
(a) For purposes of this Section, "Code" means any |
municipal ordinance that requires, after notice, the cutting of |
grass and weeds, the removal of garbage and debris, the removal |
of inoperable motor vehicles, and rodent and vermin abatement.
|
(b) In addition to any other method authorized by law, if |
(i) a property owner is cited with a Code violation, (ii) |
non-compliance is found upon reinspection of the property after |
the due date for compliance with an order to correct the Code |
violation or with an order for abatement, (iii) costs for |
services rendered by the municipality to correct the Code |
violation remain unpaid at the point in time that they would |
become a debt due and owing the municipality, as provided in |
Division 31.1 of Article 11 of the Illinois Municipal Code, and |
(iv) a lien has been filed of record by the municipality in the |
office of the recorder in the county in which the property is |
located, then those costs may be collected as a special |
assessment on the property under this Division. Upon payment of |
the costs by the owner of record or persons interested in the |
property, the lien shall be released by the municipality and |
the release shall be filed of record in the same manner as the |
filing of notice of the lien.
