(2) If owner(s) of the land abutting such sidewalk fail to install the sidewalk, the county may install the sidewalk at the property owner(s) expense.
(3) Owner(s) may petition the County Engineer for a reasonable extension of time to install the sidewalk.
(4) If the owner(s) fail to pay the costs of installation within 30 days after demand, the County Treasurer may file in the County Clerk’s office a lien of the costs incurred by the county; that amount shall constitute a lawful lien against such property and shall bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum until paid.
