[Ord. 2003-05, 3/4/2003, Art. I]
Any property owner in the Township who has not paid promptly
any municipal charge owing to the Township for public improvements
or for the nonpayment of taxes, water rents, lighting rates or sewer
rates and for which the property becomes charged or assessed pursuant
to the Municipal Claims Act, 53 P.S. § 7143 et seq., shall
also owe the Township interest on the municipal lien to be assessed
at a rate of 10% per annum. If the municipal lien, however, is filed
in connection with bonds issued by the Township, the interest shall
be assessed on such claims at a rate of interest of the bond issue
or at the rate of 12% per annum, whichever is less. For liens arising
from public improvements, the interest shall run from the date of
the completion of the work for which the property is liable. On liens
for taxes, water rents, lighting rates or sewer rates, the interest
shall run from the date of the filing of the lien.
[Ord. 2003-05, 3/4/2003, Art. II]
This Part applies to all outstanding and future outstanding
municipal liens.
[Ord. 2003-05, 3/4/2003, Art. III]
The delinquent property owner is responsible for any cost, expense
or fee incurred in the collection of the unpaid charge, claim or lien
against the owner's property, including attorney's fees as adopted,
from time to time, by fee resolution of the Board of Supervisors.
