(505 ILCS 100/10) (from Ch. 5, par. 960)
Sec. 10.
Whenever the owner or person in control of the land on which noxious
weeds are present has neglected or failed to control or eradicate them
as required in this Act and any notice is given pursuant to Section 9,
the Control Authority having jurisdiction shall have proper control and
eradication methods used on such land, and shall advise the owner,
person in control, and record holder of any encumbrance of the cost
incurred in connection with such operation. The cost of any such control
or eradication shall be at the expense of the owner. If unpaid for 6
months, or longer, the amount of such expense shall become a lien upon
the property. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to
require satisfaction of the obligation imposed hereby in whole or in
part from the sale of the property or to bar the application of any
other additional remedy otherwise available. Amounts collected under
this Section shall be deposited in the Noxious Weed Control Fund or
other appropriate general fund of the Control Authority.
