Upon the failure of any property owner to pay any installments when due and payable,
all of the installments remaining unpaid shall immediately become due and payable,
and property and rights-of-way may be sold by the city under the same rules, regulations,
rights of redemption and savings as are now prescribed by law for the sale of land
for unpaid taxes. Unpaid assessments, interest, and penalties owed by railroad companies
and the State of North Carolina, its agencies or subdivisions, may be collected by
writs of mandamus issued by the Superior Court of Robeson County. Collection of assessments
with interest and penalties may also be made by the city by proceedings to foreclose
the lien of assessments as a lien for mortgages is or may be foreclosed under the
laws of the state, and it shall be lawful to join in any bill for foreclosure any
one or more lots or parcels of land, by whomsoever owned, if assessed for an improvement
ordered by the same resolution, after default in the payment of any installment. The
payment of said installment, together with interest and penalties due thereon, before
the lot or parcel of land, against which the same is a lien is sold or said lien is
foreclosed shall bar the right of the city to sell land or to foreclose the lien by
reason of default.
