(a) Upon demolition of any building or structure pursuant to this subpart, the appropriate county official shall make a report to the county commission of the demolition costs at a meeting held for that purpose, and the county commission shall adopt a resolution fixing the costs which it finds were reasonably incurred in the demolition, and shall assess those costs against the property. The appropriate county official shall give notice of the meeting at which the fixing of such costs are to be considered by first-class mail to all entities having an interest in the property whose address and interest is determined from the tax collector’s records on the property or is otherwise known to the official. The proceeds of any monies received from the sale of salvaged materials from a demolished building or structure shall be used or applied against the cost of the demolition. Any person, firm, or corporation having an interest in any demolished property may be heard at any such meeting as to any objection he or she may have to the fixing of such costs or the amounts of its demolition.
(b) The fixing of costs by a resolution of the county commission shall constitute a special assessment against any lot or parcel of land upon which a building or structure was located, and duly made and confirmed shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of the assessment. The lien shall be superior to all other liens on the property, except liens for taxes, and shall continue in force until paid. A certified copy of the resolution of the county commission fixing the costs shall also be filed in the office of the judge of probate of the county. The tax collector of the county shall add the amount of the lien to the ad valorem tax bill on the property and shall collect the amount as if it were a tax and remit the amount to the county.
