title
Adopt a resolution authorizing an agreement with San Joaquin County, “San Joaquin County Special Assessment Charge Agreement”, to apply direct assessment of delinquent enforcement fees, fines, and abatement costs on the property owner as listed on the last equalized assessment roll maintained by the San Joaquin County assessor; authorize the City Manager to sign same; and certify and approve properties and delinquent amounts to be assessed on the San Joaquin County property tax roll of the property owner.
body
Background:
The Code Enforcement Division and Fire Prevention investigates violations of the Manteca Municipal Code and other State and Federal codes related to land use, building, business licensing and operation, health code, and various other non-criminal statutes. As part of the enforcement process administrative citations are issued to property owners in an effort to gain voluntary compliance. If voluntary compliance cannot be obtained the division abates public nuisances and properties deemed to be a public health or safety hazard.
The Code Enforcement Division and Fire Prevention utilizes several methods to recover abatements costs, fines, and fees linked with enforcement activity. For the fiscal year Code Enforcement has collected $171,095.08. Currently there is $704,951.52 due and shall be submitted to the San Joaquin County Assessor for collection on the current property tax roll.
Approving the San Joaquin County Special Assessment Charge Agreement and certifying the properties and delinquent amounts to be assessed on the San Joaquin County property tax roll of the property owner provides the City an additional means to recover delinquent balances and costs of service.
Fiscal Impact:
This filing could increase the recovery of abatement costs, fines, and fees as the county collects the assessments from property owners. Approval of this filing adds $704,951.52 in assessments to the 2025-26 San Joaquin County Tax Roll.
