Upon the completion of abatement by the town, the Town Manager, his or her designee, or the code enforcement officer shall deliver to the finance director a statement showing the actual cost of the abatement of the unlawful condition plus any additional charges, in accordance with the schedule of fees and charges established by the town Council. The finance director shall thereupon mail to the owner of the subject property a bill covering the cost, if with reasonable diligence the name and address of such owner can be ascertained, with instruction that such charges are due and payable within 30 days from the receipt thereof. In the event the costs for abatement are not paid within 30 days after receipt of the statement of charges, such charges may be recovered by the town in a civil action in the nature of debt.
