(3) If the city assumes the obligation of maintenance and/or operation the cost thereof shall be a lien upon all of the property within the subdivision.

(H) (1) A mobile home park which satisfies the requirements of this section may be converted to a condominium or planned development, as defined in the state code.

(2) Should an existing park apply for conversion, the entire park must be included.
