   Upon the abatement and removal of any vehicle or part or parts thereof pursuant to this chapter, the administrative costs and the cost of removal shall be determined by the Finance Director and he shall send a statement thereof by registered mail to the owner of the land as shown on the last equalized assessment roll from which the vehicle or part or parts thereof were removed. Unless such costs are paid or written objections with the reasons therefor are filed with the City Clerk within thirty days from the mailing of such statement, or if so ordered by the City Manager, after a hearing upon any such objections, such costs shall be assessed against such parcel of land pursuant to Section 38773.5 of the Government Code and shall be transmitted to the Tax Collector for collection. The assessment shall have the same priority as other City taxes. Upon receipt of any such objections, the City Clerk shall set the same for hearing by the City Manager and send by regular mail to the person making such objections notice of the time and place of such hearing not less than ten days before the date set for such hearing.
