An Act authorizing the city of Newton to place municipal charges liens on certain properties in the city of Newton for nonpayment of any local charge, fee or fine
Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the city of Newton to place liens on properties for unpaid local charges, fees, or fines, including those imposed by city ordinances or court orders. The liens become active once recorded with the registry of deeds and can be added to property tax bills if unpaid by the assessment deadline. Property owners are responsible for all costs related to recording or removing the liens, and the city council must vote to specify which charges apply before enforcement begins.
