Under appropriate circumstances, unpaid assessable costs shall constitute a lien upon the real property of the responsible party to which the Public Safety incident, Fire or other covered incident/event relates. Such lien shall accrue interest and penalties in the same manner as liens for unpaid property taxes. The City Treasurer shall report and certify to the City Assessor any delinquent and unpaid assessable costs under this subchapter. The City Assessor shall then enter the delinquent amount on the next general ad valorem tax roll as a charge against the affected property. Enforcement of the lien shall be the same as for unpaid property taxes.
