(A) City abatement. If the owner or inhabitant of any property in the city fails to keep his or her property free from noxious, unhealthy, or unsightly weeds or vegetation, as stated in the notice or in the order, the City Council may direct cutting, spraying, or removal of the same by use of city crews or private contractor who shall be authorized to enter onto private property for this purpose.
(Prior Code, § 7A.0607)
(B) Cost of abatement - assessment. The city’s cost of cutting, spraying, or removal shall be billed to the owner or inhabitant of the property involved, who shall have 30 days from and after receipt of the bill to pay the same. If the bill is not paid within the indicated time, the city may defray the cost of abatement plus accrued interest, by taxing the cost thereof by special assessment against the property upon which the abatement occurred. Such assessment shall not relieve the owner or inhabitant from prosecution or fine for violation of this chapter.
