UT HB0013

Municipalities may place political subdivision liens on property for past due water, sewer, and storm water service fees after providing notice of the debt and intent to file a lien (60 days minimum before lien notice, then 10 additional days before recording)

Municipalities and special districts may charge interest on past due fees calculated using the same method as property tax liens, plus a one-time penalty not exceeding 8% as an administrative cost

When a customer differs from the property owner of record, municipalities must make reasonable efforts to identify this and provide separate notice to the owner before filing a lien

Property owners must receive notice at their current address, last known address via public records, or through posting on the property and municipal website for 20 days if no address is obtainable
