Pennsylvania Statutes Title 53 P.S. Municipal and Quasi-Municipal Corporations § 68601. Recovery of municipal claims

(a) In addition to the remedies under law for the filing of liens for the collection of municipal claims, a township may proceed for the recovery and collection of any municipal claim by action of assumpsit against the person who was the owner of the property when the improvement was completed, even if there was a failure on the part of the township or its agents to enter the municipal claim as a lien against the property assessed for the improvement, and for the recovery of which the action of assumpsit was brought.

(b) Any action in assumpsit shall be commenced within three years after the completion of the improvement from which the claim arises.
