Any and all costs incurred by the city in the abatement of a nuisance shall be deemed a debt to the city by the owner or person in charge of the property upon which the nuisance existed. Such costs and expenses shall become a lien upon the property affected. The lien shall be superior to all prior existing liens and encumbrances, except taxes; provided, however that within 90 days after completion of the abatement, the city shall file a notice of lien for the costs and expenses with the Marshall County Clerk and Recorder. The lien may be enforced by proceedings to foreclose, which shall be commenced within three years after the date of filing of the notice of lien. Upon payment of all of the costs and expenses, the lien shall be released by the city.
