C.R.S. Section 35-7-115
Enforcing collection

  • hearing
Upon payment by any county of any such bill of expenses so charged against any landowner, lessee, or contract holder, the board of county commissioners shall make demand and notice in writing, upon such landowner, lessee, or contract holder, in person or by mail addressed to him or her at his or her last known place of residence twenty days prior to the published meeting date, for reimbursement to the county in the amount of such expenses. Such written notice shall inform such person that he or she may appear before the board on the published meeting date and be heard as to the amount and accuracy of the claim. If such claim, as originally demanded by the board or as adjusted upon the hearing, is not paid, then, in the case of a private landowner, the board of county commissioners shall certify the claim to the county assessor who shall add the amount thereof to any taxes due or to become due upon his or her lands, and said lands shall be sold for the satisfaction thereof at the same time and in the same manner as is provided by law for the sale of real estate for delinquent taxes. In cases where such accounts are payable by a lessee or contract holder, suit may be maintained in behalf of the county in any court of competent jurisdiction for the recovery of such accounts and costs of suit. All such accounts when collected by the county shall be paid into the general fund thereof or into the fund used by the county to meet its obligations under this part 1.
