Chapter 520: Sidewalks and Retaining Walls
In short: When the city has a retaining wall or sidewalk built by contract under this chapter, the contractor is paid through a special tax bill against the abutting property. The bill is a lien on that property and carries 8% annual interest from the date of issue, except as Section 520.170 provides.
