If the city abates a condition pursuant to section 4-4-9 of this chapter, the cost of abatement shall be charged against the property on which the condition was located. Costs shall include, but not be limited to, labor, materials, equipment, service fees, contract fees, assessments, or other charges related to the abatement. The city clerk shall, at the time of certifying other taxes to the county clerk, certify the costs as provided in this section. The county clerk shall extend the same on the tax roll, the assessment shall become a lien against the property on which the condition was located, and it shall be collected by the county treasurer and paid to the city as other taxes are collected and paid. In addition to remedies available to the city to collect assessments levied against property, if any assessments for costs of abatement levied by the city in accordance with this section remain unpaid by the owner of a lot or parcel of ground, the city may collect the amount due in the same manner as a personal debt of the property owner to the city, by bringing an action in the appropriate district court.
