A. Charges for weed cutting shall be a lien upon the premises as provided by statute. Whenever a bill for weed cutting remains unpaid sixty (60) days after it has been rendered, the Village Clerk may file with the Recorder of Deeds of Kankakee or Iroquois County a statement of lien claim. This statement shall contain a legal description of the premises served and the amount of the unpaid bill, the date or dates when the weed cutting was incurred, and a notice that the Village claims a lien for this amount.
B. Notice of such lien claim shall be by certified mail sent by the Village Clerk to the owner of the premises, if the address is known to the Clerk, whenever such bill remains unpaid for a period of sixty (60) days after it has been rendered. (1990 Code § 18.205; amd. 2019 Code)
C. The failure of the Village Clerk to record such lien claim or to mail such notice, or the failure of the owner to receive such notice, shall not affect the right to foreclose the lien for the unpaid weed cutting bill as outlined herein.
D. Property subject to a lien for such unpaid bill shall be sold for nonpayment of the same, and the proceeds of the sale shall be applied to pay the charges, after deducting costs, as in the case in the foreclosure of statutory liens. Such foreclosure shall be in the name of the Village. (1990 Code § 18.205)
