Any owner of a property whose property shall be declared a public nuisance as provided in this chapter shall be subject to a civil penalty in the amount of $50 per day for each day the nuisance exists beginning on the first day following the ten day abatement period provided in § 96.21(D). If a person fails to pay the civil penalty within 30 days after being notified of the amount due, the city may recover the penalty together with all costs by filing a civil action in the general court of justice in the nature of a suit to collect a debt.
