A. The county may, in a single suit, foreclose the liens against all of the persons named in a notice of liens or against the property if the owners are unknown. The complaint filed by the county shall:
(1) expressly state the name and address of each defendant, if known;
(2) describe the property against which the lien is established; and
(3) set forth the amount of the lien and the date from which any interest has accrued.
B. The judgment or decree rendered in said cause shall be several against the named defendants and against the several properties for the amounts decreed to be due by each. Liens shall be foreclosed in the same manner that mortgages or other liens against real estate are foreclosed, with like rights of redemption. At the trial foreclosing the lien, the recitals of the liens or the notices of lien shall be received in evidence as prima facie true. In any foreclosure of a lien for street maintenance assessments under this act, a reasonable attorney's fee shall be taxed by the court as part of the costs.
