§ 100.27. ENFORCEMENT OF ASSESSMENT; PRIORITY OF LIEN.

(A)

The City may enforce the abatement assessments by an action at law, injunctive relief, or foreclosure of the lien provided in Section 100.26, which shall be foreclosed in the same manner as mortgages are foreclosed under State law. In the above types of action, the City shall be entitled to interest at the rate of eight (8) percent from the date of assessment, collection costs and reasonable attorney's fees. Such liens shall be on parity with general city taxes and shall have priority over all other liens and encumbrances, including mortgages.

(B)

The City may alternatively enforce the action through the code enforcement process.
