3-1-9: COSTS OF REMOVAL TO LANDOWNER; OBJECTIONS:
Upon receipt of the itemized statement of the costs of nuisance abatement, the county treasurer shall forthwith mail one copy to the owner of the land on which the nuisance was abated, together with a notice that objection in writing to the county commission may be made within thirty (30) days to the whole or any part of the statement so filed. The county treasurer shall, at the same time, deliver a copy of the statement to the clerk of the county commission. If objections to any statement are filed with the county commission, they shall set a date for hearing, giving notice thereof, and upon the hearing of the matter, fix and determine the actual cost of nuisance abatement, reporting their findings to the county treasurer. If no objections to the items of the account are made within thirty (30) days of the date of mailing, the county treasurer shall enter the amount of such statement on the assessment rolls of the county in the column prepared for that purpose. The county treasurer shall, within ten (10) days of the date of the action by the county commission, upon any objections filed, enter into the prepared column upon the tax rolls, the amount found by the county commission to be the cost of nuisance abatement. If current tax notices have been mailed, the taxes so incurred may be carried over on the rolls to the following year. After the entry by the county treasurer of the costs of nuisance abatement, the amount so entered shall have the force and effect of a valid judgment of the district court and shall be a lien upon the lands from which the nuisance was abated, and shall be collected by the county treasurer at the time of and in the manner provided for the payment of general taxes. Upon payment, a receipt shall be acknowledged upon the general tax receipt issued by the county treasurer. (1998 Code § 8.16.210)
