§45-8-172.07. Report on abatement of nuisance; modifications; liens; special assessments.

At the time fixed for receiving and considering the report, the city or county governing body shall hear the report, together with any objections which may be raised by any of the property owners liable to be assessed for the work of abating the nuisance. It shall make such modifications in the report as it deems necessary, after which by motion or resolution the report shall be confirmed. The amounts of the cost for abating the nuisance in front of or upon the various parcels of land mentioned in the report shall constitute special assessments against the respective parcels of land and shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of the assessments. After confirmation of the report, a copy shall be turned over to the appropriate official or employee of the city or county who is charged with the collection of taxes or assessments. The official or employee shall add the amounts of the respective assessments to the next regular bills for taxes levied against the respective lots and parcels of land for city or county purposes. Thereafter, the amounts shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary city or county taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure under foreclosure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary city or county taxes.
