The amounts assessed in the ordinance shall be due and collectible immediately on its passage and if not paid within thirty days from the date of its adoption, the municipality shall proceed against the property for the collection of the amount of the additional local or special assessment so levied, plus interest thereon and ten per cent (10%) additional for attorney's fees. A certified copy of each ordinance providing for the levy and collection of the additional local or special assessment shall be filed with the clerk of court of the parish in which the municipality is located promptly upon its adoption, who shall forthwith record the same in the mortgage records of the parish and when so filed and recorded the ordinance shall operate as a lien and privilege against all the real estate therein assessed.
