(A) All persons within the Town are required to keep their premises in a clean and sanitary condition, free from accumulations of refuse, except where stored as provided in this chapter.
(B) Upon finding that such unsanitary conditions exist, as enumerated in § 50.01, the Town Administrator or his or her designee shall notify, in writing, the owner of the property that the conditions must be remedied within ten days. The notice shall be given in person or by registered mail to the last known address of the owner.
(C) The property owner may, within the ten day corrective period, file a written request for appeal to the Town Administrator. The Town Administrator shall hear the appeal within a reasonable time period after receiving the written appeal from the aggrieved property owner. The Town Administrator shall have the authority to determine whether such unsanitary conditions exist on the property and what corrective actions, if any, shall be undertaken to correct any violations present on the property.
(D) If the owner fails to remedy such conditions within the prescribed time period, the Town Administrator or his or her designee shall determine the reasonable cost for corrective action, initiate corrective action upon said property and bill the property owner for the cost of the corrective action within 30 days from the date of the corrective action. The amount of the billing shall constitute a lien upon the property for which the expenditure was made, which lien may be enforced by suit as other tax liens of the Town.
(E) Each owner, occupant or other responsible person using or occupying any building or other premises within this municipality where refuse accumulates or is likely to accumulate shall provide, use and keep covered an adequate number of refuse containers for the proper and orderly disposal of refuse, garbage and other materials suitable for collection by the Town. The refuse containers shall be strong, durable and rodent and insect proof. The refuse container shall have a capacity of 90 to 95 gallons and provided by the Town of Collierville after receipt of the registration fee set by resolution.
