67A.889 Lien for annual improvement assessment.
Each annual improvement assessment, with any penalty or interest incident to the
nonpayment thereof, shall constitute a lien upon the lot or parcel of benefited
property against which it is assessed. The lien shall attach to each lot or parcel of
benefited property as the same is described by the owner's deed of record in the
county clerk's office at the time of the publication of the ordinance of initiation, as
provided, and thereupon shall take precedence over all other liens, whether created
prior to or subsequent to the publication of the ordinance, except state and county
taxes, general municipal taxes, and prior improvement assessments and shall not be
defeated or postponed by any private or judicial sales, by any mortgage, or by any
error or mistake in the description of the property or in the names of the owners. No
error in the proceedings of the urban-county council shall exempt any benefited
property from the lien for the improvement assessment, or from the payment thereof,
or from the penalties or interest thereon, as herein provided. No error in the
proceedings of the urban-county council shall exempt any property from liability for
payment of any annual improvement assessment, or for any interest or penalty
incident to nonpayment thereof. The urban-county council of the government shall
have power to make such rules and orders as may be required to properly
administer the project.
