For a chronic violator of this subchapter, if the violator's property is found to be in violation, the town shall, without further notice in the calendar year in which notice is given, take action to remedy the violation. The expense of the action shall become a lien upon the property and shall be collected as unpaid taxes. The initial annual notice shall be served by registered or certified mail. A chronic violator is a person who owns property whereupon, in the previous calendar year, the municipality took remedial action at least 3 times under this chapter per G.S. § 160A-200.
