If the administrative costs and the cost of removal of the vehicle which are charged against the owner of a parcel of land pursuant to this chapter are not paid within 30 days of the date of the order, the Vehicle Abatement Officer shall record an abatement lien, as is authorized by Government Code 38773.5 and/or 54988. Such costs shall also be specially assessed against the parcel and added to the property owner's tax billing as a special assessment, pursuant to Government Code section 54988. Such assessment shall have the same priority as ad valorem taxes.
