§ 153A-293. (See editor's note) Collection of fees for solid waste disposal facilities and solid waste collection services.

A county may adopt an ordinance providing that any fee imposed under G.S. 153A-292 may be billed with property taxes, may be payable in the same manner as property taxes, and, in the case of nonpayment, may be collected in any manner by which delinquent personal or real property taxes can be collected. If an ordinance states that delinquent fees can be collected in the same manner as delinquent real property taxes, the fees are a lien on the real property described on the bill that includes the fee.

Session Laws 1991, c. 652, s. 6, as amended by Session Laws 1991 (Reg. Sess., 1992), c. 1007, s. 26, provides: "Chapters 591, 905, 938, 940, 974, 1007, and 1017 of the 1989 Session Laws are repealed to clarify that G.S. 153A-293, as amended by this act, is a statewide statute and not a local statute.
