No mobile home set-up permit or building permit shall be issued until full payment of the interim fire assessment is received by the county.

For the purpose of this provision, such interim fire assessment shall be deemed due and payable on the date any such permit was issued and shall constitute a lien against such property as of that date. Said lien shall be equal in rank and dignity with the liens of all state, county, district or municipal taxes and special assessments, and superior in rank and dignity to all other liens, encumbrances, titles and claims in and to or against the real property involved and shall be deemed perfected upon the issuance of the permit.
