§ 26-129. Lien for abatement costs.  


Latest version.
  • Any costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Village pursuant to Sections 26-127 and 26-128 shall be deemed a debt to the Village by the owner or person in control of the property upon which the nuisance existed. Such costs and expenses shall become a lien upon the real property affected. The lien shall be superior to all prior existing liens and encumbrances, except taxes; provided, however that within 90 days after completion of the abatement, the Village shall file a notice of lien for the costs and expenses with the County Recorder of Deeds. The lien may be enforced by proceedings to foreclose, which shall be commenced within three years after the date of filing of the notice of lien. Upon payment of all of the costs and expenses, the lien shall be released by the Village.
