(a) If after notice and expiration of the time permitted for a hearing request under this chapter, a person does not comply with an order adopted under this chapter, the commissioners court may remove, dispose of, or correct the obstruction and assess the costs incurred by the county in doing so against the owner of the property on which the obstruction was located.
(b) Interest accrues at an annual rate of 10 percent on any unpaid part of the costs.
(c) If a person assessed costs under this section does not pay the costs within 60 days after the date of assessment, a lien in favor of the county attaches to the property from which the obstruction was removed or corrected to secure the payment of the costs and interest.
