1. Upon repair or demolition of any building or structure, either with city crews or by independent contractor, all costs of demolition and/or repair shall be assessed against and constitute a lien on the property upon which the building or structure is/was situated. The lien shall be equal in rank, priority and dignity with the lien of Brevard County ad valorem taxes and shall be superior to all other liens, encumbrances, titles and claims in, to or against the property. Cost shall include, but not limited to, administrative cost, attorney's fees, postage, newspaper publication fees and actual costs of physical removal and/or repair.

2. The city clerk shall file such lien in the public records of Brevard County Florida, showing the nature of the lien, the amount thereof, a legal description of the property and the owner thereof. Such liens shall bear interest from the date of filing at the highest rate allowed by law.

3. The lien may be enforced in the same manner as a court judgment by the sheriffs of the State of Florida, including levy against personal property, and may also be foreclosed in the nature of a mortgage. All costs and attorney's fees incurred in collection of amounts due under any such lien shall also be secured by the property and included within the total sum due under the lien.
