Gov. Code, § 54355
Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
The lien provided by Section 54354 shall attach when the treasurer or other officer whose duty it is to collect the charge records a list of delinquent unpaid charges and penalties thereon with the county recorder, stating the amount of each charge and the penalty thereon, a description of the real property upon which the same is a lien and the name of the local agency to which the same is payable. Such lien shall have the same force, effect, priority and duration as to the property described as would the lien of an abstract of a judgment against the owner of the real property at the time such list is recorded and may be enforced in like manner. Property may be discharged from the lien within one year from the date of recording by the payment of all delinquent charges plus penalties. A list of all such delinquent charges shall be recorded at least every six months, but no delay or informality in recording the same shall invalidate the lien or any unpaid charge or any subsequent act or proceeding. If through error or otherwise the amount of any unpaid charge plus penalties thereon as stated in said list shall be incorrect, said error shall be disregarded and shall not affect or invalidate the filing if said error is one dollar ($1) or less.
