Sec. 518.212. - Payment and enforcement of lien and interest thereon.

A lien provided for in this Chapter may be paid within 180 days after the publication of the notice of assessment and lien as provided in Section 518.208 without interest. Thereafter, the amount of the lien, including administrative costs and cost of publication of notice of assessment and lien, together with interest at the rate of 12 percent per annum commencing from the date of filing of the lien, and costs of collection, including but not limited to collection agency fees, attorneys fees and court costs, shall be a lien against the property and shall be collected and enforceable in the same manner as is provided by law for the enforcement of other taxes or special assessment liens levied upon the property. Such nuisance abatement liens shall be prior in dignity to all other liens or encumbrances of any kind against the property, except the liens of the State, County and City for taxes, which shall be of equal dignity with the special assessment lien for nuisance abatement. All funds collected in accordance with this Section shall be deposited into the Nuisance Abatement Lien Special Revenue Fund as provided in Section 111.470 , Ordinance Code. The Nuisance Abatement Lien Special Revenue Fund shall supplement general revenue funding for nuisance abatement contractual services.
