If the owner or party in interest fails to pay the costs within 30 days after mailing by the Assessor of the notice of the amount of the cost, in the case of a single-family dwelling or a two-family dwelling, the township shall have a lien for the costs incurred by the township to bring the property into conformance with this subchapter. The lien shall not take effect until notice of the lien has been filed or recorded as provided by law. A lien provided for in this section does not have priority over previously filed or recorded liens and encumbrances. The lien for the costs shall be collected and treated in the same manner as provided for property tax liens under the General Property Tax Act, Pub. Act 206 of 1893, as amended, being M.C.L.A. §§ 211.1 et seq.
