§ 18-54. Lien for payment of use charges.  


Latest version.
  • In addition to other remedies, whether criminal or civil, as the county may have to enforce this division, the county shall have a lien upon all aircraft landing upon the airport for all fees, rents, rates and charges for the use of the facilities of the airport by any aircraft when payment of such is not made immediately upon demand to the operator or owner of the aircraft. This lien is for the full amount of the charges, rents, rates and fees attached to any aircraft at the airport which is owned or operated by the persons owing such charges, rents, rates or fees. A person may not remove or attempt to remove from the airport any aircraft owned or operated by the person owing such charges, rents, rates or fees after service of a notice of the lien upon the owner or operator, or after posting notice upon the aircraft. Any person who unlawfully removes from the airport any aircraft owned or operated by a person owing such charges, rents, rates or fees, after service or posting of the notice of lien and before payment of the amount due, shall be punished as provided by law.
