[Adopted 1-23-1996 by L.L. No. 1-1996]
This article is intended to establish a procedure for the use of County tax enforcement processes to assist local governments in their exercise of their police powers concerning unsafe buildings or hazardous situations.
A. 
The County will relevy local expenses for demolition or remediation activities as a component of the next County property tax bill levied against the subject parcel. The County will reimburse the local government for those relevied expenses and seek full recovery through County tax enforcement proceedings.
B. 
If tax enforcement does not provide full reimbursement, the local government will repay the County for the unreimbursed portion. The local repayment may be made by direct payment or by administrative charge against either the local tax warrant or the County's annual settlement payment for relevies.
C. 
This relevy and recoupment method will be used only when the County and locality have both authorized its use. The County Treasurer is hereby expressly authorized to recoup any unauthorized relevies by the most convenient method.
