The appeal shall be taken within thirty days after confirmation of the assessment or award appealed from by serving a written notice thereof within said thirty days upon the clerk or the chief executive officer of the municipality, either personally, or by leaving the same at his office or place of abode.

An appeal taken pursuant to this section shall not affect the validity and commencement of a lien against land that has been assessed for benefits, but shall be considered to affect only the amount of the lien.
