5-2-7: LIEN FOR UNPAID EXPENSES:
Expenses for the abatement of said nuisance under this chapter shall be a lien upon the premises. Whenever a bill for such expenses remains unpaid for more than sixty (60) days, after it has been rendered, the code enforcement department may file with the recorder of deeds of Williamson County a statement of lien claims. The statement shall obtain a legal description of the premises, the expenses and costs incurred and the date the nuisance was abated, and the notice that the city claims a lien for such account. Notice of such lien claim shall be mailed to the owner of the premises if his address is known; provided, however that failure of the city to record such lien claim or to mail such notice, or the failure of the owner to receive such notice, shall not affect the right to foreclose the lien for such charges as provided in the following section.
