(A) Chronic violator defined. A person who owns property whereupon, in the previous calendar year, the town gave notice of violation at least three times under any provision of §§ 93.01 through 93.03, 93.10 through 93.16, and 93.25 through 93.38.
(B) Notice. The notice shall be sent by registered or certified mail. When service is attempted by registered or certified mail, a copy of the notice may also be sent by regular mail. Service shall be deemed sufficient if the registered or certified mail is unclaimed or refused, but the regular mail is not returned by the post office within ten days after the mailing. If service by regular mail is used, a copy of the notice shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises affected.
(C) Action by town. The town may notify a chronic violator of the town's public nuisance ordinance that, if the violator's property is found to be in violation of the ordinance, the town shall, without further notice in the calendar year following the year in which three notices were given, take action to remedy the violation, and the expense of the action shall become a lien upon the property and shall be collected as unpaid taxes.
