To file a lien against the property for work done to ensure compliance, a statement of expense must be filed with whom?

Filing a lien against a property for code enforcement activities requires submitting a statement of expense to the County Clerk. The County Clerk is responsible for maintaining public records, including liens against properties. By filing with the County Clerk, the statement becomes part of the official property record, making it public knowledge and enforceable. This process is essential to ensure that the financial obligations incurred for compliance work are legally recognized and can be pursued as needed for collection.

The other options, while involved in different aspects of local government, do not have the specific responsibility for maintaining records of liens. The City Manager and Mayor typically focus on executive functions and governance, while the Local Assessor is more concerned with property tax assessments rather than enforcement liens.
