(A) If the costs of the work performed under this subchapter are not paid within 30 days from the date of mailing the notice prescribed by § 93.028, the City Clerk shall forward a certified statement of the amount of the costs to the County Treasurer in which the property upon which the work was done is located, in order that the amount be levied upon the property and be collected by the County Treasurer in the manner prescribed by the law of this state. The certified statement of costs must be filed with the County Treasurer between the thirty-first day and the sixtieth day after the property owner was billed.
(B) The lien is coequal with the lien of ad valorem taxes and all other taxes and special assessments and prior and superior to all other titles and liens against the property.
(C) The lien shall continue until the cost is fully paid.
(1) After filing the certified statement of costs with the County Treasurer, payment shall only be made to the County Treasurer, who will then forward the moneys received to the city. If the city and the County Treasurer deem this lien noncollectable, the city may pursue any civil remedy for collection of the amount owing and interest thereon.
(2) Upon receiving payment, if any, the City Clerk shall forward to the County Treasurer a notice of such payment and directing discharge of the lien.
