§ 192.010. Cost recovery; lien

Sec. 10. 

(a) The costs incurred by the City in demolishing the dangerous structure and removing it from the property or repairing the dangerous structure to a safe condition, including reasonable attorney fees, shall be reimburse to the City by the owner or party in interest in whose name the property appears.

(b) The owner or party in interest in whose name the property appears upon the last local tax assessment roll shall be notified by the assessor of the amount of the costs of the demolition or repair of the dangerous structure by first-class mail at the address shown on the records. If the owner or party in interest fails to pay the costs within 30 days after mailing by the assessor of the notice of the amount of the costs, the City shall have a lien for the costs incurred by the City to bring the property into compliance with this Chapter [Part]. The lien shall not take effect until notice of the lien has been filed or recorded as provided by law. The lien provided for in this subsection does not have priority over previously filed or recorded liens and encumbrances. The lien for the costs shall be collected and treated in the same manner as provided for property tax liens under the state General Property Tax Act.
