[EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2003]: Sec. 2. (a) If a condition violating an
ordinance of a municipal corporation exists on real property, officers
of the municipal corporation may enter onto that property and take

ordinance. However, before action to bring compliance may be taken,

corporation takes action to bring compliance, the expenses incurred by
the municipal corporation to bring compliance constitute a lien against
the property. The lien is superior to all other liens except liens for
taxes, in an amount that does not exceed:
(1) two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for real property
that:
(A) contains one (1) or more occupied or unoccupied single
or double family dwellings or the appurtenances or additions
to those dwellings; or

(2) ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for all other real property not
described in subdivision (1).".
