(C) (1) (I) THE SECRETARY OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS MAY FILE A
CIVIL CLAIM UNDER SUBSECTION (B) OF THIS SECTION, IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR
THE COUNTY OR BALTIMORE CITY IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, AGAINST
THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AND ANY OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES, INCLUDING
ANY TRANSFEROR THAT THE STATE WISHES TO MAKE A PARTY.
(II) THE CLAIM SHALL BE FILED WITH:
1. SWORN AFFIDAVITS STATING FACTS ON WHICH THE
ALLEGATIONS OF DEFAULT ARE BASED; AND
2. A DETAILED JUSTIFICATION OF THE AMOUNT CLAIMED.
(2) IF THE CIRCUIT COURT DETERMINES FROM THE STATE'S INITIAL
FILING THAT THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT A DEFAULT HAS
OCCURRED, PENDING FULL DETERMINATION OF THE STATE'S CLAIM, THE COURT
SHALL AUTHORIZE A TEMPORARY LIEN ON THE PROPERTY:
(I) IN THE AMOUNT OF THE STATE'S CLAIM PLUS ANY ADDITIONAL
AMOUNT ESTIMATED TO BE NECESSARY TO COVER THE COSTS AND REASONABLE
ATTORNEYS' FEES INCURRED BY THE STATE; OR
(II) IN OTHER AMOUNTS THAT THE COURT DETERMINES TO BE
REASONABLE.
(3) (I) A TEMPORARY LIEN SHALL TAKE EFFECT:
1. ON THE DATE OF THE COURT'S AUTHORIZATION, IF THE
SECRETARY OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS RECORDS A NOTICE OF TEMPORARY
LIEN IN THE LAND RECORDS OF THE COUNTY OR BALTIMORE CITY IN WHICH THE
PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN 10 DAYS AFTER THE COURT'S AUTHORIZATION; OR
2. ON THE DATE A NOTICE OF TEMPORARY LIEN IS
RECORDED.
(II) WHILE THE TEMPORARY LIEN IS IN EFFECT, NEITHER THE
OWNER NOR ANY PERSON WHO ACQUIRED AN INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY AFTER
THE STATE FIRST MADE FUNDS AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPERTY
MAY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE STATE:
1. TAKE ANY ACTION THAT WOULD AFFECT THE TITLE TO
THE PROPERTY; OR
2. INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE A SECURITY
INTEREST OR OTHER SIMILAR RIGHTS IN THE PROPERTY.
(4) (I) THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY OTHER INTERESTED
PARTY MAY OBTAIN RELEASE OF A TEMPORARY LIEN AT ANY TIME BY FILING WITH
THE COURT A BOND SECURING THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE STATE'S CLAIM AND
ANY ADDITIONAL AMOUNT NECESSARY TO COVER THE COSTS AND REASONABLE
ATTORNEYS' FEES INCURRED BY THE STATE.
