Sec. 1325. (a) A unit may use any legal remedy to collect an impact fee imposed by the unit. A unit must bring an action to collect an impact fee and all penalties, costs, and collection expenses associated with a fee not later than ten (10) years after the fee or the prorated portion of the impact fee first becomes due and payable.
(b) On the date a structural building permit is issued for the development of property on which the impact fee is assessed, the unit acquires a lien on the real property for which the permit is issued. For a phased development, the amount of the lien may not exceed the prorated portion of the impact fee due and payable in one (1) or more installments at the time the structural building permit is issued.
(c) A lien acquired by a unit under this section is not affected by a sale or transfer of the real property subject to the lien, including the sale, exchange, or lease of the real property under IC 36-1-11.
(d) A lien acquired by a unit under this section continues for ten (10) years after the impact fee or the prorated portion of the impact fee becomes due and payable. However, if an action to enforce the lien is filed within the ten (10) year period, the lien continues until the termination of the proceeding.
(e) A holder of a lien of record on any real property on which an impact fee is delinquent may pay the delinquent impact fee and any penalties and costs. The amount paid by the lien holder is an additional lien on the real property in favor of the lien holder and is collectible in the same manner as the original lien.
(f) If a person pays an impact fee assessed against any real property, the person is entitled to a receipt for the payment that is:
(1) on a form prescribed by the impact fee ordinance; and
(2) issued by a person designated in the impact fee ordinance.
