The statutory text

Verbatim from the public record. The law itself is a government work — always confirm the current version on the official source before you rely on it.

Any charge assessed against a unit may be enforced by a civil action by the council acting on behalf of the unit owners, provided that each suit when filed shall refer to this chapter and to the unit against which the assessment is made and the owner thereof and shall be indexed by the clerk of the county court of the county in which the unit is situate as lis pendens. Any judgment against a unit and its owner shall be enforceable in the same manner as is otherwise provided by law.
