§ 1.05.410. Notice of satisfaction; lien removal procedures.

(a)

When payment in full is received by the city for the outstanding administrative fines, fees and costs, or the amount is deemed satisfied pursuant to a subsequent administrative order, the responsible person may file with the enforcement official a written request for a notice of satisfaction on a form provided by the city clerk.

(b)

Once the enforcement official receives a request for a notice of satisfaction, the enforcement official shall confirm that the city has received payment in full. The enforcement official shall provide a notice of satisfaction to the responsible person if such confirmation is made.

(c)

Pursuant to the request by the responsible person, the enforcement official shall either:

(1)

Record or cause to be recorded the notice of satisfaction in the official records of Washoe County, and the responsible party will be liable for the fees and actual costs of recording the notice; or

(2)

Serve the notice of satisfaction to the responsible person for the responsible person's own recording of such notice in the official records of Washoe County. If so requested by the responsible person, the notice of satisfaction shall be served by personal service or certified mail as listed in section 1.05.050 of this Code.

The notice of satisfaction shall include the same information as provided in the original code enforcement lien. The recording of the notice of satisfaction shall have the effect of canceling the code enforcement lien.

(d)

If the enforcement official denies a request to issue a notice of satisfaction, the enforcement official shall serve the responsible person with a written explanation setting forth the reasons for the denial. The written explanation shall be served by personal service or certified mail as listed in section 1.05.050 of this Code.
