The costs of abatement of a nuisance, as confirmed by resolution of the City Council, shall constitute a special assessment against the property to which it relates, and after its recording, as thus made and confirmed, the same shall constitute a lien on the property in the amount of the assessment. After the confirmation of the statement, a copy thereof shall be recorded in the official records of Tulare County and shall be transmitted to the Assessor and Tax Collector of the county by the City Clerk. Whereupon it shall be the duty of the Assessor and Tax Collector to add the amount of such assessment, or assessments, to the next regular bill of taxes levied against the respective lot or parcel of land, and thereafter the amount shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary real property taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure for foreclosure and sale in the case of delinquency as provided for ordinary real property taxes.
