(A) Lien claim.
(1) Charges for the weed removal shall be a lien upon the premises. Whenever a bill for the charges remains unpaid for 60 days after it has been rendered, the Clerk may file with the Recorder of Deeds of the county a statement of lien claim. This statement shall contain a legal description of the premises, the expenses and costs incurred and the date the weeds were cut and a notice that the village claims a lien for this amount.
(2) Notice of the lien claim shall be mailed to the owner of the premises if his or her address is known; provided, however, that, failure of the Clerk to record the lien claim or to mail the notice or the failure of the owner to receive the notice shall not affect the right to foreclose the lien for the charges, as provided in the following division (B).
(B) Foreclosure of lien.
(1) Property subject to a lien for unpaid weed cutting charges 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 is the case in the foreclosure of statutory liens. The foreclosure shall be in equity in the name of the village.
(2) The Village Attorney is hereby authorized and directed to institute the proceedings, in the name of the village, in any court having jurisdiction over the matter, against any property for which the bill has remained unpaid 60 days after it has been rendered.
