3. Upon receipt of such application, the District Court shall transfer the cause to the Superior <br />Court, which shall proceed to try the issue of abatement. <br />4. The presence of a nuisance, as determined by the District Court or through the procedure <br />outlined in KCC 18.02.035, shall be res judicata. <br />5. The Superior Court shall decide whether or not the defendant has complied with the District <br />Court order requiring correction or the corrective measure outlined in the Notice of Violation <br />and Abatement. <br />6. If not, the Superior Court shall issue a warrant of abatement authorizing the County to abate the <br />nuisance at the expense of the party causing the nuisance and to levy a special assessment <br />against the involved real estate to defray costs and reimburse the County for its abatement <br />costs. <br />7. Such special assessment, along with any civil penalties and costs shall constitute a lien against <br />the property upon which the violation occurred that shall be of equal rank with state, county, <br />and municipal taxes. <br />8. An authorized official shall cause a claim of lien to be filed for record in the Auditor's Office <br />within ninety (90) days from the date of completion of the abatement performed pursuant to <br />this Title. <br />9. The claim of lien shall contain the following: <br />a. The authority for imposing a civil penalty and/or proceeding to abate the violation; <br />b. A brief description of the civil penalty imposed or the abatement work done, or both, <br />including the violations charged and the duration thereof, including the time the work is <br />commenced and completed and the name of the persons or organizations performing the <br />work; <br />c. A description of the property to be charged with the lien; <br />d. The name of the known owner or reputed owner, and if not known the fact shall be <br />alleged; and <br />e. The amount, including lawful and reasonable costs, for which the lien is claimed. <br />10. No lien created by this Title binds the property subject to the lien for a period longer than ten <br />years after the claim has been filed unless an action is commenced in the proper court within <br />that time to enforce the lien. <br />11. Liens created under this Title shall bear interest at the rate of 12 percent per annum and such <br />interest shall accrue as of the date notice of the lien is sent to the property owner.
