(A) Service of process.
(1) Whenever service is required to be given under this code for enforcement purposes, the document shall be served by any of the following methods, unless different provisions are otherwise specifically stated to apply:
(a) Regular mail, postage prepaid, to the last known address of the owner or other responsible person;
(b) Posting the notice conspicuously on or in front of the property. If not inhabited, the notice must also be mailed as provided in division (A)(1)(a) above. The form of the posted notice shall be approved by the enforcement official or his or her designee; and
(c) Published in a newspaper of general circulation where the identity or whereabouts of the person to be served are unknown and cannot be ascertained through reasonable diligence, where service is impracticable under the circumstances, or where there exists good cause to believe that the person to be served is avoiding service of process.
(2) Service by regular mail in the manner described above shall be deemed served on the third day after the date of mailing.
(3) If service complies with the requirements of this section, it shall be deemed a valid service even if a party claims not to have received the service, and it shall not affect the validity of any proceedings taken under this code.
(4) The failure to serve all responsible persons shall not affect the validity of any proceedings.
(B) Constructive notice of recorded documents. Whenever a document is recorded with the County Recorder as authorized or required by this code, or applicable state codes, recordation shall provide constructive notice of the information contained in the recorded documents.
