The amount of benefits assessed by the commissioner under the provisions of subsection (b) of section 13a-73 or reassessed by the court shall constitute a lien upon the land against which such benefits were assessed from the date such assessment was filed with the clerk of the Superior Court until the amount thereof has been paid by the owner of such land to the state, with interest at six per cent per annum, which interest shall commence to accrue from the date of the filing of such assessment.
