(A) If any owner, agent or occupant shall refuse to destroy noxious weeds pursuant to this subchapter or cause noxious weeds to be destroyed, it shall be the duty of the township to enter upon lands and to destroy noxious weeds or cause the noxious weeds to be destroyed, and entering upon the lands by the township shall not be deemed as trespassing. Express power to so enter upon the lands and destroy noxious weeds is hereby conferred upon the township. If the owner, agent or occupant has failed after ten days’ notice as provided in this subchapter, to destroy the weeds or cause the weeds to be destroyed, then the township or any other officer or agent authorized by the township may enter upon the lands or lots and destroy by cutting with or without mechanical equipment which will not damage the property or the sidewalk adjacent thereto any noxious weeds and all expenses incurred in the lands shall be paid by the owner of the lands. If any owner billed for such services by mail has not paid for the services after 30 days from billing, the township shall have the right to spread the expense against the property of such owner on the county and school tax roll of the general township tax roll and/or place a lien upon the property to secure the collection of the expense.
(B) The Township Treasurer shall, subject to the approval of the Township Board, set up billing procedures as may be required to accomplish the purpose of this subchapter.
