The total cost of such repair or removal, whether such costs are incurred due to the use of the employees, materials and equipment, or the City or by contract for labor, materials and equipment, or both, and the cost of service or publication of notice, together with a proper description of the premises, shall be certified by the Clerk of Council to the County Auditor and placed by him upon the tax duplicate. Such costs shall be a lien upon such lands from and after the date of entry and shall be collected as other taxes and returned to the City.
