(B) It shall be unlawful for any person to fail to obey the directions of a notice served personally upon him or her pursuant to this subchapter.
(C) The landowner shall be notified in writing of the property found in violation. The landowner is ultimately responsible for the property and its cleanup of said property. However, if the owner of any of the listed items in §§ 92.001 to 92.003 would come forward and admit the violation is his or hers, then the officer may give that person notice to removed such violation. This does not excuse the land owner from the responsibility if the violation is not resolved. The officer will have the choice of citing either the owner of the items causing the violation or the property owner.
(D) The landowner will be given an initial 30 days to remove and comply with this subchapter. After 30 days the property will be inspected and if still in violation, the officer will write a citation to the neglectful party and give him or her 15 days to pay the fine at the Clerk-Treasure’s office or Violation Bureau. If the citation is not paid in 15 days, the citing officer will file such case with a county or town court for trial. The officer does has the right to extend the 30 day limit if he or she sees that the property owner is making every attempt to fix the problem and request additional time, this will be at the discretion of the officer.
