§ 24-28. Assessment of charge for unauthorized encroachment or other unauthorized use.  


Latest version.
  • In addition to any criminal penalties and other assessment of costs provided for unauthorized encroachments and other unauthorized uses of a street, sidewalk or public way, the owner or any other person responsible for or benefited by the unauthorized encroachment or use may be charged an amount representing compensation to the City for the use of any portion of a street, sidewalk or other public way. The amount of such charge shall be the equivalent of the real estate tax that would be charged upon the land occupied by the encroachment or other use, if the land were held in private ownership. Such charge, if assessed, shall be collected in the same manner as City taxes.
