In January 2002, the City of Montclair passed Ordinance No. 02-815 allowing liens to be placed on properties that have past due trash and sewer bills.  Once accounts become 90 days delinquent, owners are sent a notification letter via certified mail and a lien is placed on the property if the delinquency still goes unpaid.  A $50 lien fee and an $8 release of lien fee is added to any lien amount before the lien is placed with the County of San Bernardino.

If a lien was placed on your property, payment in full can be made directly to the City of Montclair up until August of each year.  In August of each year any unpaid liens will be assessed on the property taxes.

In August of each year, any unpaid liens on a property are placed on the property owner's tax bill.  At that time, payment of the lien can only be made with your property taxes.  Once full payment has been received, a Release of Lien will be filed on your behalf with the San Bernardino County Recorder's Office.

Ask your Mortgage Company to fax a request for a demand letter to the Lien Desk at (909) 398-1497.  A demand letter will then be faxed to your Mortgage Company.
