(1) All taxable property located in the City of Gun Barrel City on January 1st of each year shall stand charged from that date with special lien in favor of the City for taxes due. All persons purchasing any such property on or after January 1st of any year shall take the property subject to the liens provided above. In addition to the liens herein provided, on January 1st of any year, the owner of property subject to taxation by the City shall be personally liable for the taxes due for that year.
(2) The City shall have the power to sue for and recover personal judgment for taxes without foreclosure, or to foreclose its lien or liens, or to recover both personal judgment and foreclosure. In any such suit where it appears that the description of any property in the city appraisal rolls is insufficient to identify such property, the City shall have the right to plead a good description of the property to be assessed, to prove the same, and to have its judgment foreclosing the tax lien or for personal judgement against the owners for such taxes.
