(A) Abatement time limitation. If the person in control fails to remove or otherwise abate the public nuisance within 30 calendar days of mailing or personal service of the notice to abate (or such extension thereof as may be granted in writing by the Town Council), the Town Council may, at the expense of the person in control, remove or abate the public nuisance or cause it to be removed or abated; provided, however, that if such removal or abatement is not undertaken within 180 days after the right to do so first accrues to the town, a new notice of abatement shall be served as provided in § 93.07.
(B) Determination of cost of removal. The costs assessed for removal or abatement shall not exceed the actual costs plus 10% for the incidental costs associated therewith, including associated legal costs. Before undertaking the actual removal or abatement, the town shall attempt to obtain at least three written estimates from qualified contractors (if available locally) and shall accept the lowest such estimate that is otherwise satisfactory to the town. In the alternative, the removal or abatement may be performed by Town personnel, and the cost shall be deemed to be the same as the lowest estimate obtained from a qualified contractor as determined by the town.
(C) Removal from tax rolls. Upon removing or demolishing a dilapidated building, the town shall give notice to the county assessor to adjust the valuation of the real property on the property assessment tax roll from the date of removal.
