A. Action Of City: If an owner or other interested party does not secure, vacate, repair, or demolish a structure within sixty (60) days, the building official may take the ordered action at the city's expense.

1. Costs: Costs include all expenses incurred as a result of the enforcement of the order.
2. Administrative Expenses: The general administrative expenses of inspecting structures, locating owners, conducting hearings, and issuing notices and orders, together with all associated administrative functions, require a reasonable minimum charge of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per property. The city clerk shall maintain an accounting of all expenses incurred during this process. If the total is greater than five hundred dollars ($500.00) the cost shall be the greater amount.
3. Lien: Any expenses incurred by the city pursuant to subsection B1 of this section will be assessed against the property on which the structure stands or stood. The city will have a privileged lien upon filing same in the official public records of Jefferson County, Idaho, subordinate only to tax liens against the property unless it is a homestead as protected by Idaho statutes. The lien will be extinguished if the property owner or other interested party reimburses the city for all expenses and penalties. (Ord. 2013-562, 9-3-2013)
