(A) The total cost for abating a nuisance shall constitute a special assessment against the premises to which it relates, and upon recordation in the office of the County Recorder of a notice of lien, shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of such assessment. The procedure for collecting abatement costs through a special assessment lien shall be in accordance with Cal. Gov't Code § 38773.5.
(B) After such recordation, a copy of the lien shall be turned over to the County Tax Assessor, who shall then enter the amount of the lien on the assessment rolls as a special assessment.
(C) Thereafter, said amount shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure under foreclosure and sale in case of delinquency as provided by Cal. Gov't Code § 38773.5 and as provided for ordinary municipal taxes.
