The District shall have a continuing lien upon any land and the improvements on the land to which fines or penalties have been imposed pursuant to D.C. Law 6-100, the "Litter Control Administration Act of 1985" (D.C. Code § 6-2901 et seq. (1981)).
The lien shall have priority over all other liens except liens for District taxes and District water and sewer charges.
If any civil fines, penalties, interest or costs shall remain unpaid after the end of six (6) months after the date of the final notice for the charges, then the subject property may be sold for the unpaid civil fines, penalties, and costs at the next tax sale in the same manner and under the same conditions as property sold for delinquent general taxes.
For the purposes of any property sold pursuant to the provisions of § 1313.3 of this chapter, the redemption period shall be six (6) months.
The proceeds of the sale shall be credited to the General Fund of the District of Columbia.
