(A) Whenever such a condition exists the Town Manager or the manager’s designee shall immediately thereafter notify any owner of property, his or her agent or any person having charge of such property, in writing, that an order has been made requiring the removal of any accumulated refuse from such property or premises within 20 days after service of notice.
(B) If such property owner, agent or person having charge of such property shall not remove such refuse in accordance with the requirement of such order, the Town Manager may cause the refuse to be removed and assess the cost thereof against the property or premises. The amount so assessed shall be a lien upon such property until the same is paid; provided that, in case such assessment is not paid within 30 days, it may be certified by the Clerk to the County Treasurer who shall collect the assessment, together with a 10% penalty for cost of collection, in the same manner as other taxes are collected. The laws of the state for assessment and collection of general taxes, including the laws for the sale and redemption of property for taxes, shall apply to the collection of such assessments.
