Where any public nuisance is abated by the town pursuant to the provisions of this subchapter, the costs of the abatement shall be taxed against the owner or occupant of the property from which the public nuisance emanates or arises. The town shall send by certified mail to the owner a bill for the costs of the abatement with the notation thereon that the charges are collectible by the town in any manner provided by law for the collection of state and local taxes, and that failure to pay the bill within 60 days of the date of the bill will result in the institution of collection procedures. Upon the owner’s failure to pay the bill by the date set thereon the Town Manager may, pursuant to law, institute any collection procedures as he or she may deem necessary.
