(A) Notice. The County Board of Supervisors, through its own agents or employees, shall give notice of violation of this subchapter to owners of property on which inoperative motor vehicles, trailers, or semitrailers are located. The notice shall be sent by letter or hand delivered and allow 30 days within which the property owner may comply with the provisions of this subchapter. The notification letter shall state that the county may remove and dispose of any inoperative motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer. If the property owner does not comply, a second letter shall be sent informing the property owner that the Board of Supervisors, through its agents or employees, shall remove and dispose of any such motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer on or after 14 days after mailing of the second letter.
(B) Cost of removal. The cost of any removal and disposal shall be chargeable to the owner of the vehicle or premises and may be collected by the county as taxes and levies are collected. Every cost authorized by this subchapter with which the owner of the premises has been assessed shall constitute a lien against the property from which the vehicle was removed and the lien shall continue until payment of such costs has been made to the county.
