(1) Any person or entity who violates any provision of divisions (A) through (C) above shall be subject to the city supplying the necessary service through a private collector after 24 hours' notice has been provided by the city to the property owner or tenant of the condition. In that event, the city shall have a private contractor to provide collection services for the subject property and shall have the right to charge the cost and expense of the collection to the property owner where the service has been determined to be inadequate. Said costs and expense shall constitute a lien against the property. The property owner shall have 30 days from the date of receipt of the request for payment to remit the payment to the city.

This claim of lien statement shall contain a legal description of the premises, the expenses and costs incurred, the date of such expenses, and a notice that the city claims a lien for this amount. All such unpaid costs and liens shall bear interest at the rate provided for in F.S. § 55.03(1), and said interest shall accrue.

The costs incurred for collection, including legal fees and costs related to a foreclosure action, shall be recovered along with all amounts due the city under the lien.
