Liens for nonpayment of charges

If a person has failed to pay any charge levied by the city, the city shall have as security for the collection of such charge a lien upon such building and upon any premises, lot, piece, or parcel of land upon which such building may be situated. The unpaid amount shall constitute a lien when the payment becomes past due and shall remain a lien until paid in full. A notice of lien shall be recorded among the public records of the county which shall show the nature of the lien, the amount thereof, and an accurate description of the real property affected thereby. The city may proceed to foreclose such lien pursuant to the manner prescribed by law and shall be entitled to interest and all costs of collection, including attorneys' fees. Further, any attempt to collect fees by any other process shall not invalidate or waive the lien imposed hereby.
