Latest version.
  • In the event any watercraft occupies any harbor space in the parish boat harbors without there first having been made application for space and space having been allotted through execution of rental contract, except in cases of free time which may be granted a visiting vessel under the ordinance of the parish council fixing the rental charges for space, or in the event any harbor fees or charges are not paid in advance or prior to expiration of the original term for any renewal term of a rental contract, there shall be lien on the watercraft occupying such harbor space for such unpaid fees and charges, attorney's fees, and costs, regardless of the time such space is so occupied. After all legal requirements are met, parish government may seize and sell the watercraft in order to collect all unpaid fees and charges, attorney's fees and costs. It shall be the duty of the harbor master to promptly notify the boat harbor office of such event in order that collection of the amount due and enforcement of the lien may be initiated.
