13.65.025 Assessment of Costs.
A. The City Manager, by registered or certified mail, shall send to the person responsible a notice stating:
1. The total cost of abatement, including the administrative overhead.
2. That the cost as indicated will be assessed to and become a lien against the property, unless paid within 30 days from the date of the notice.
3. That if the owner or person responsible objects to the cost of the abatement as indicated, a notice of objection may be filed with the administrator no more than 10 days from the date of the notice.
B. If an objection to the cost of abatement is filed as provided in subsection (A) of this section, the Municipal Court shall hear and make a decision on the objections to the costs assessed.
C. If the costs of the abatement are not paid within 30 days from the date of the notice or the date of the Municipal Court decision if an objection is filed, the costs of abatement shall be entered in the City lien docket and shall constitute a lien on the property from which the nuisance was removed or abated.
D. The lien shall be enforced in the same manner as liens for street improvements are enforced and interest shall begin to run from the date of entry of the lien in the lien docket.
E. An error in the name of the owner or person responsible shall not void the assessment, nor will a failure to receive the notice of the proposed assessment render the assessment void but it shall remain a valid lien against the property. [Ord. NS-2141, 2010]
