Upon failure to observe this notice, the County Weed Control Superintendent is required to proceed pursuant to the law and have weeds destroyed by such method as he or she finds necessary, the expense of which shall constitute a lien and be entered as a tax against the land, and be collected as other real taxes are collected or by other means as provided by law.
