Amend Title To Conform
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 5-7-80(2) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(2) The municipality may provide by ordinance for notification to the owner of conditions needing correction, may require that the owner take such action as is necessary to correct the conditions, may provide the terms and conditions under which employees of the municipality or any person employed for that purpose may go upon the property to correct the conditions and may provide that the cost of such shall become a lien upon the real estate and shall be collectable in the same manner as municipal taxes and has the same priority as municipal taxes upon filing of the lien with the Register of Mesne Conveyances."
SECTION 2. Section 31-15-30(6) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(6) That the amount of the cost of such repairs, alterations or improvements, vacating and closing or removal or demolition by the public officer shall be a lien against the real property upon which such cost was incurred and shall be collectable in the same manner as municipal taxes and has the same priority as municipal taxes upon the filing of a final order of a public officer and
(1) its entry in the judgment rolls of the clerk of court or
(2) the recording of notice of the lien with the Register of Mesne Conveyances."
SECTION 3. Section 31-15-330(6) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(6) That the amount of the cost of such repairs, alterations or improvements, vacating and closing or removal or demolition by the public officer shall be a lien against the real property upon which such cost was incurred and shall be collectable in the same manner as county taxes and has the same priority as county taxes upon the filing of a final order of a public officer and
(1) its entry in the judgment rolls of the clerk of court or
(2) the recording of the lien with the Register of Mesne Conveyances."
SECTION 4. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor and applies to all liens existing on the effective date of this act or obtained after the effective date of this act.
