IN HB1464

Requires municipalities to send two separate delinquency notices for sewer and storm water fees: an initial notice within 30 days of delinquency and a second notice if fees remain unpaid, with the first notice stating that no lien or collection charges will be assessed if paid within 30 days

Mandates that when property is occupied by someone other than the owner, delinquency notices must be sent both to the property address by regular mail and to the property owner by certified mail at either an owner-designated address or the county auditor's records

Prohibits municipalities from filing liens, initiating civil actions, or assessing attorney's fees for delinquent sewer fees until notices have been properly sent and fees are at least 60 days delinquent

Requires notices and bills for weed and vegetation removal violations to be sent by certified mail to property owners, with copies sent to the property address if different, and includes a 30-day grace period before liens can attach

Requires local governments with existing weed removal ordinances to amend them by September 1, 2011 to comply with the new notice requirements, with an emergency effective date upon passage and main provisions effective July 1, 2011
