(A) Within 30 days after abatement of the violation, the owner of the property will be notified by mail of the assessment for the cost of abatement, including administrative costs. The property owner may file a written protest objecting to the amount of the assessment within ten days of the postmarked notice. If the amount due is not paid within 60 days of the postmarked date on the notice, or by the expiration of the time in which to file an appeal, the charges shall become a special assessment against the property and shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of the assessment.
(B) Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall become liable to the city by reason of such violation. The liability shall be paid in not more than 12 equal payments. Interest at the rate established by Indiana law, currently eight percent per annum, shall be assessed on the balance, beginning on the tenth day following the postmarked date of the notice of assessment.
