(A) Lien. As provided by G.S. 160D-1203(7), the cost of any repairs, alterations, or improvements, or of vacating and closing, or removal or demolition, caused to be made or done by the Public Officer pursuant to this subchapter shall be a lien against the real property upon which such cost was incurred. Such lien shall be filed, having priority, and be collected in the same manner as the lien for special assessments established by G.S. 160A, Article 10 (G.S. 160A-216 et seq. including G.S. 160A-233(c)). Such lien, if against real property located within the village limits, is also a lien on any other real property of the owner located within the village limits or within one mile thereof except for the owner’s primary residence. This additional lien is inferior to all prior liens and shall be collected as a money judgment. All liens shall be filed in the office of the register of deeds of the county where the property is located.
(B) Disposition. If the housing is removed or demolished by the Public Officer, the Public Officer shall sell the materials of the housing, and any personal property, fixtures or appurtenances found in or attached to the housing, and shall credit the proceeds of the sale against the cost of the removal or demolition and any balance remaining shall be deposited in the superior court by the Public Officer, shall be secured in a manner directed by the court, and shall be disbursed by the court to the persons found to be entitled thereto by final order or decree of the court.
