§ 246. Warrant to be issued upon failure to pay assessment; collection
If the owner of any lands assessed as hereinbefore provided shall neglect to pay to
the Chief Administrative Officer the amount of any such assessment for 90 days after
the final record in the matter of making such assessment shall have been made in the
records of said streets and highways in the Chief Administrative Officer’s office,
the Chief Administrative Officer shall issue his or her warrant to the Constable of
said City for the collection thereof; and said Constable shall have power on such
warrant to distrain and sell at public auction so much of the goods and chattels of
such owner, and for want thereof so much of said lands so assessed as will satisfy
said assessment and all legal fees and shall be entitled to the same fees on such
warrant as collectors of town taxes on tax warrants; and the Chief Administrative
Officer shall proceed in the same manner as collectors of town taxes are required
by law to proceed in selling goods and chattels or real estate at auction for the
collection of taxes, except that the Chief Administrative Officer shall have no right
on such warrant for want of goods and chattels of such owner to arrest the owner and
commit him or her to jail.
