2864
. Upon the failure of the property owner or the person in
possession of the property to pay the district for all sums expended
by the district in abating a nuisance or preventing its recurrence,
or upon the failure to pay all civil penalties, the costs or
penalties, or both, shall become a lien upon the property on which
the nuisance was abated or its recurrence prevented when notice of
the lien is filed and recorded. However, if the property has been
conveyed prior to the recordation of the lien, the lien shall not
attach to the real property, but shall remain the debt of the person
who owned the land at the time the costs were incurred, and the debt
may be recovered by the district board against the debtor, as
provided in Section 2866.
