Assessment liens for charges and expenses authorized in this subpart, except as herein provided, shall insofar as feasible be governed by laws governing assessment liens for municipal improvements; and all powers, duties, and authority relative to municipal improvements vested by such laws in municipal governing bodies may be had and exercised by the county commission. All such assessments may be enforced, contested, and appeals therefrom taken in the manner prescribed for enforcing municipal improvement assessments; and liens for county improvement assessments shall have the same force and effect as liens for municipal improvement assessments.
