Upon receipt of information that noxious weeds or vegetation, including grass, exists in violation of § 93.20, the Municipal Manager or designee shall cause written notice to be served on the owner, lessee, agent, tenant, occupant or entity having charge of the land upon which such violation is occurring, either in person, or by being mailed to or left at the usual place of residence of any such person or the principal office of any such entity. If such owner, lessee, agent, tenant, occupant or entity having charge of the land is a nonresident of the municipality whose address is known, such notice shall be sent by registered or certified mail. If no owner, lessee, agent, tenant, occupant or entity having charge of the land is present on such land at the time of the attempt to serve the written notice, or if the address of such owner is unknown, or if the registered or certified mail is not delivered, it is sufficient to publish the notice once in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality. The noxious weeds and vegetation must be cut and destroyed within five days after service of notice. Such notice will be given only one time each season.
