Financial Impact:
Imposing liens from unpaid abatement costs facilitates the Department's compliance with Tehama County Code Chapter 9.06 and Government Code Section 53069.4 and 25845.
Background Information:
Tehama County Code Enforcement conducted an inspection of the Premises on July 25, 2023. The enforcing officer issued a "Notice of Violation and Proposed Administrative Penalty, Notice to Abate and Administrative Order to Show Cause" ("Notice") to the owner(s), and/or occupant(s) of the Premises on July 26, 2023, for unlawful marijuana cultivation under Chapter 9.06.
Abatement of the unlawful marijuana cultivation was ordered as specified in the Notice.
On September 13, 2023, a Hearing was conducted by the Administrative Hearing Officer to review the enforcing officer’s report of the amount of Abatement Costs to determine whether, and in what amount, the Abatement Costs shall be enforced as a lien against the Premises; and adopted an Abatement Costs Recommendation, recommending the Board of Supervisors order the recordation of a lien related to these penalties.
