(A) All property in the village shall be mowed. In the event that any lot, block, or parcel of ground is left to grow and go to seed, the village reserves the right to cut the same and prior to cutting of the grass and weeds, the village should mail a notice to the owner of record a notice by certified mail that the same shall be cut, and unless the same is cut within five days of the mailing of the notice, the Village Street Commissioner or his or her agent shall go onto the said real estate and cut the same, and the said owner shall then be liable for the costs of same, and the Village Clerk shall then bill the owner of record for said amounts.
(B) In the event charges for cutting the weeds are not paid within 30 days after rendition of the bill for such service, such charges shall be deemed and are hereby declared to be delinquent and thereafter such delinquent charge shall constitute a lien upon the real estate to which such services are supplied. The Village Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file sworn statements showing such delinquencies in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Woodford County and Marshall County, Illinois, and the filing of such statement shall be deemed notice for the payment of such charges for service.
