(A) If the provisions of the foregoing sections in this chapter are not complied with, the city shall serve written notice of such fact upon the owner, lessee, occupant, or any agent or person having the care or control of such lot or land. If the person upon whom the notice is served fails, neglects, or refuses to cut and remove or cause to be cut and removed, such weeds, grasses, or other vegetation within the time specified in the notice, after receipt of such notice, or if no person can be found in this municipality who either is or claims to be the owner of such lot or land, or who either represents or claims to represent such owner, the city may cause such weeds, grass, or other vegetation on such lot or land to be cut and removed.
(B) The cost of cutting and removing shall be set annually by the City Council’s Fee Schedule together with a $25 administrative fee and such other additional costs incurred in connection therewith. The amount so charged against said premises, lots, or parcels of land shall be a lien upon the property on which said weeds, grass and vegetation were located, and shall be added to, and become, and form part of the taxes to be assessed against said property.
