All properties that are subject to a fire inspection shall be assessed a fee to cover the cost of said inspection. The Fire Inspection Fee Schedule shall be adopted and, from time to time, amended by resolution of the City Commission. The fire inspection fee shall constitute a lien against the real property so inspected, equal in rank and dignity with the liens of all state, county, district, or municipal taxes and special assessments, until paid. Except as otherwise provided by law, such lien shall be superior in dignity to all other prior liens, mortgages, titles, and claims. The lien for a fire inspection fee shall be deemed perfected and shall attach to the property on the date of billing each year.
