Charges for such weed or grass removal shall be a lien on the premises. Whenever a bill for such charges remains unpaid for 30 days after it has been rendered, the Village Clerk may file in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the county a statement of lien. This statement shall contain a legal description of the premises and the expenses and costs incurred, the date the weeds were cut, and the notice that the village claims a lien for this amount. Such notice of lien claim shall be mailed to the owner of the premises if his or her address is known, provided, however, that failure of the Clerk to record such lien claim or to mail such notice or the failure of the owner to receive such notice shall not affect the right of the village to foreclose the lien for such charges.
