In case of any such delinquency, attachment shall be sued out and the lien under the attachment enforced in the chancery court of the county where the land is located. Alternatively, the municipality may collect any installments of any assessments that are past due in the same manner that the municipality is authorized to collect property taxes of the municipality.
