# O.C.G.A. § 41-3-10. Issuance of permanent injunction; entry and enforcement of judgment; disposition of sums arising from enforcement of judgment.

(a) Whenever a permanent injunction is issued against any person for maintaining a nuisance as described in Code Section 41-3-1 or against any owner of the building, structure, or place knowingly kept or used for the purposes prohibited by this chapter, the judge granting the injunction shall, at the same time, enter judgment against the person, firm, or corporation owning said building, structure, or place in the sum of $300.00; and said judgment shall be a special lien upon the premises complained of and the furniture and fixtures therein and shall as against the property rank from date with all other judgments or liens as provided by law.

(b) The judgment provided for in subsection (a) of this Code section shall issue in the name of the state and be enforced as other judgments in this state. The lien of the judgment upon the property used for the purpose of maintaining the nuisance shall not relieve the person maintaining the nuisance or the owner of the building, structure, or place from any of the other penalties provided by law.

(c) All sums arising from the enforcement of the judgment provided for in subsection (a) of this Code section shall be paid into the treasury of the county in which said judgment is entered and become part of the general funds of said county.
