I. If a judgment is not complied with in the time prescribed, the governing body may cause the building to be repaired, razed, or removed as set forth in the judgment. The cost of such repairs, razing, or removal shall be a lien against the real estate on which the building is located and may be levied and collected in the same manner as provided in N.H. Rev. Stat. Chapter 80 for tax liens. When the building is razed or removed by the municipality, the governing body may sell the salvage and valuable materials at public auction upon 3 days’ posted notice.

Rev. Stat. Chapter 80 for tax liens; provided that N.H. Rev. Stat. § 80:59 giving such liens priority over all other liens shall not apply.
