Full text
(a) An assessment under this subchapter against a property or property owner and any costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred are a personal claim against the owner secured by a lien against the property.
(b) A lien under this section reverts back and takes effect as of the date of the original resolution ordering the lighting improvement. Adoption of the resolution is notice of the lien to all persons.
(c) A person who owns property on the date of an ordinance providing for an assessment against the property under Section 315.069 is personally liable for that person's respective portion of the assessment.
(d) Assessing in one assessment more than one parcel of property owned by a single owner or owned jointly by two or more persons does not invalidate the assessment or a lien or claim of personal liability under the assessment.
(e) An error in the name of an owner of assessed property in the ordinance providing for the assessment does not invalidate the lien or personal liability created by the ordinance. The lien or personal liability exists against the true owner of the property as if the owner had been correctly described.
