§ 7504. Dockets; indexes; lien; judgment; execution; sale; revival; scire facias
(b) All certified records shall be a lien upon the real estate of the taxpayer within the county in which such city of the first class or school district of the first class is located from the date of entry upon the docket and until paid. The lien shall be given the effect of a judgment and a writ of execution may issue directly without prosecution to judgment of a writ of scire facias. Any property sold in execution shall be sold in compliance with the procedure provided for municipal claims in section 31.2, act of May 16, 1923 (P.L. 207),1 subject to all prior claims, mortgages, ground rents, charges and estates.
“And now .............. the claimant by .............. its solicitor, or by the chief of its delinquent tax bureau, suggests of record that the above claim is still due and owing to the claimant, and avers the defendant is still in default for nonpayment thereof. The prothonotary is hereby directed to enter this suggestion and averment on the Self-Assessed Tax Lien Docket, and also index it upon the judgment index of the court for the purpose of continuing the lien of the claim.” Such suggestion and averment shall be signed by, or have stamped thereon, a facsimile signature of the solicitor or chief executive officer of the claimant or the chief of its delinquent tax bureau.
(e) The prothonotary shall docket and index the suggestion and averment directed therein, and for such services shall be entitled to a fee of one dollar ($1) to be taxed and collected as costs in the claim. The filing and indexing of such suggestion and averment within five years of filing the claim, or the issuing of any writ of scire facias thereon or any judgment thereon or the filing of any prior suggestion and averment of default, shall have the same force and effect for the purpose of continuing and preserving the lien of the claim as though2 a writ of scire facias had been issued or a judgment or judgment of revival had been obtained within such period. It shall be lawful for a writ of scire facias to issue and be prosecuted to judgment in the manner in which such writs are now ordinarily employed. The above described procedures shall be in addition to any other methods of collection that may be or are presently authorized.
