The cost of cleanup incurred by the city shall constitute a lien upon the property for which the cleanup charges were incurred, including both real and personal property, if the owner or the owner's lessee caused or contributed to the deposit; and if not paid within three months after the charge is due, the city treasurer or his designee, prior to May 1 of each year, shall certify to the tax assessing officer of the city the facts of such delinquency, whereupon such official shall enter such delinquent charges upon the next general city tax roll as a charge against the premises; and the liens shall be enforced in the same manner as provided by law for delinquent and unpaid taxes.
