A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 6-1-60 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT A COUNTY OR MUNICIPALITY IMPOSING A USER FEE WHICH IS BILLED ON AN AD VALOREM TAX NOTICE MAY BY ORDINANCE PROVIDE THAT AN UNPAID USER FEE CONSTITUTES A LIEN ON THE TAXABLE PROPERTY WHICH MAY BE ENFORCED AND COLLECTED AS PROPERTY TAXES ARE ENFORCED AND COLLECTED AND THIS LIEN HAS THE SAME PRIORITY AS A TAX LIEN.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Chapter 1, Title 6 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 6-1-60. A county or municipality imposing a user fee which is billed on an ad valorem property tax notice may by ordinance provide that an unpaid user fee constitutes a lien on the property that is the subject of the tax notice which may be enforced and collected as property taxes are enforced and collected. The lien has the same priority as a property tax lien. Upon the effective date of the ordinance, the user fee may be collected in the same manner that property taxes are enforced and collected."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
