3.33.010 Foreclosure of delinquent LID and ULID assessments.

When any local improvement district (LID) or utility local improvement district (ULID) assessment is payable in installments, upon failure to pay any installment due, the assessment shall become immediately due and payable, and the collection thereof shall be enforced by foreclosure. The payment of all delinquent installments, together with interest, penalty and costs, at any time before the entry of judgment in foreclosure shall extend the time of payment on the remainder of the assessment installments as if there had been no delinquency or foreclosure. Foreclosure proceedings may be commenced at any time on or before November 15th, unless otherwise provided in the LID or ULID ordinance itself, of the year in which, on the first day of January of such year, two installments of any local improvement district or utility local improvement district assessment were delinquent or the final installment was delinquent for more than one year. In case of foreclosure, there shall be added to the costs and expenses provided by Chapter 35.50 RCW such reasonable attorneys’ fees as the court may adjudge to be equitable, and the amount thereof shall be apportioned to each delinquent assessment or installment appearing on that roll. When one or more delinquent installment is paid before the foreclosure proceedings are completed, payment of such costs shall be a prerequisite to the city’s dismissal of such proceedings unless otherwise ordered by the court. (Ord. 1558 § 2, 2015).
