(A) If the property owner fails to cut and/or remove the weeds and rank vegetation or appeal the violation notice received from the Town Marshal within the time limits prescribed in this subchapter, the property owner shall be deemed to have granted permission to the Town Marshal to enter the premises for the purpose of cutting and/or removing such weeds and rank vegetation. The Town Marshal shall then take all necessary actions to cut and/or remove such weeds and rank vegetation from the subject property.
(B) If the town through its designated agent removes weeds and rank vegetation to abate the violation of this subchapter, the Town Marshal shall prepare and deliver to the Clerk-Treasurer a statement of costs listing the actual cost of removing the weeds and rank vegetation, plus the administrative expenses incurred by the town as a result of the enforcement of this subchapter. The statement of costs and the citation shall be served on the property owner by first class mail or certified mail, return receipt requested.
