A. The town's statement of cost under section 18-5-21 above shall be:
1. An assessment on the land from which the town abated the violation(s), and
2. Collected at the same time and in the same manner as other town assessments are collected.
B. The town shall record the assessment in the Pima County Recorder's Office. From the date of its recording, the assessment shall be a lien on the land.
C. The lien shall be inferior only to general tax liens.
D. After recording the lien, the town may institute an action to enforce the lien in the Superior Court for Pima County. The recorded assessment is prima facie evidence of the truth of all matters recited in the assessment and the regularity of all proceedings before the recordation. Upon judgement of foreclosure and order of sale, the town shall sell the land to satisfy the lien.
E. A prior assessment under this section is not a bar to a later assessment. Any number of liens on the same land may be enforced in the same action.
F. Failure to enforce the lien shall not affect its validity.
