State Penalties Enforcement Act 1999

The registrar may register with the registrar of titles or any other person required or permitted to keep a register about dealing with property, an interest in land or an interest in any other property if—

the total amount owing by the enforcement debtor is—

for an interest in a motor vehicle—more than $500; or

otherwise—more than $1,000; and

the registrar issues an enforcement warrant for the amount.

The registration of an interest in a motor vehicle under subsection (1) does not prevent the registrar issuing any of the following in relation to the vehicle—

a notice of intention to immobilise a vehicle;

an immobilisation warrant;

an enforcement warrant to seize and sell property.

On registration of an interest in land or other property, the amount accrues interest at the annual rate prescribed under the Civil Proceedings Act 2011, section 59(3).

Also, the amount and any accruing interest becomes a charge on the debtor’s interest in the land or other property ranking in priority according to the time of registration of the interest.

Subsection (4) applies subject to any other Act.
