If the owner or person having charge of any premises within the Village, upon which a public nuisance exists, fails to comply with any notice provided for in Section 521.15 or fails to prohibit the existence of such public nuisance, the Village has the authority to take whatever action is necessary to abate the public nuisance, including, but not limited to, entering upon any public or private property and expending or furnishing labor and materials necessary to abate the public nuisance. All such expenses and costs shall be paid out of the Village funds appropriated therefor, and the Village shall thereafter report such expenses to the County Auditor. Such amounts shall thereupon be entered upon the tax duplicate, shall be a lien upon such lands from and after the date of the entry thereon, and shall be collected as other taxes and returned to the Village when so collected.
