(A) Charges To Be A Lien: Charges for such weed removal shall be a lien upon the premises. Whenever a bill for such charges remains unpaid for sixty (60) days after it has been rendered, the clerk may file with the recorder of deeds of Carroll County a statement of lien claim. This statement shall contain a legal description of the premises, the expenses and costs incurred and the date the weeds were cut, and a notice that the city claims a lien for this amount.
(B) Notice: 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 clerk 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.
(C) Treatment As A Special Assessment: In addition to the other methods prescribed by this section for collection of said charges, and provided that a lien has been filed of record by the city of Savanna in the office of the recorder of deeds, then the unpaid costs may be collected as a special assessment on the property. Upon payment of the costs by the owner of record or persons interested in the property, the lien shall be released by the municipality and the release shall be filed or recorded in the same manner as the filing of notice of lien.
