(A) No owner, occupant, or person in charge shall permit noxious vegetation to grow upon his or her property within the city limits. All noxious vegetation shall be cut and maintained at a height not to exceed ten inches.
(B) It is hereby declared a nuisance for the owner, occupant, or person in charge to permit noxious vegetation to grow upon his or her property, or the right-of-way adjacent to such property without removing the same as prescribed above; and in case the noxious vegetation is not removed, then the City Council may cause it to be removed as provided within this chapter. The cost of such removal may be assessed against the owner, occupant, or person in charge or against the property and made a lien thereon, which shall be entered in the docket of city liens to be collected.
(C) The City Council may elect to charge a penalty against the owner, occupant, or person in charge, or against the property itself for failure to comply with this chapter. The costs that the city incurs in the abatement, plus a penalty, may be charged against the owner, occupant, or person in charge or against the property itself.
