Costs and disbursements may be taxed, allowed, and entered in the judgment of the court in a proceeding to enforce an abatement order made by the state fire marshal in the same manner as in other civil actions. If the sheriff or state fire marshal has incurred expenses in the enforcement of any such order, the expenses must be reported to the court and the court may allow and enter them as a part of the judgment. Any costs and disbursements so allowed and entered in the judgment are a lien against the premises affected by the abatement order and are enforceable in the same manner as other judgment liens. The state fire marshal shall reimburse the sheriff for the sheriff’s disbursements and fees in said proceeding.
