§ 14-62. Assessment of costs.

(a)

As soon as practicable after such abatement or corrective action is made by the county, the cost thereof to the county for such abatement or corrective action, including administrative and operating costs, shall be calculated and reported by the director to the Lake County Board of County Commissioners. Thereupon, the board of county commissioners, by resolution, shall levy a special assessment lien in the amount of such costs against such lot. Such resolution shall describe the lot and specify the total costs assessed. A certified copy of the resolution shall be recorded in the official records of Lake County, in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, in and for Lake County, Florida, and the lien shall become effective as of the date of filing such copy with the clerk of the circuit court.

(b)

Until payment is tendered, such assessment shall be a legal, valid and binding obligation upon the property. The assessment shall become due and payable to Lake County as of the date of the mailing of the notice of lien by the director. Thirty (30) days after the mailing of the notice of lien, interest shall begin to accrue at the rate of twelve (12) percent per annum on any unpaid portion thereof.
