(A) (1) A notice of accumulation of garbage and/or debris sent under this subchapter shall be in writing and specifically state:
(a) The identity of the County Authority;
(b) The County Authority determined an accumulation of garbage and/or debris exists on the real property;
(c) The mailing address and property index number of the real property where the accumulation was found to exist;
(d) The person receiving the notice is required to remove the accumulation; and
(e) A date by which the accumulation must be removed, which shall be no earlier than 15 days following the mailing or posting date of the notice.
(2) Should the person fail to remove the accumulation, the County Authority intends to remove the accumulation and assess the costs of that removal to the person receiving notice.
(B) A notice of accumulation of garbage and/or debris sent under this subchapter shall be sent by mailing a copy of the notice to the address of the real property where the accumulation exists and to the last known address of each owner of the real property where the accumulation exists. In the event any owner of the real property where the accumulation exists is deceased, the notice shall also be mailed to the last known address of each identifiable heir of that owner. This provision shall not require the mailing of more than one notice to any given property address. In addition to all mailed notices, a copy of the notice shall be posted physically in a prominent location on the real property.
(C) If any mailed notice is returned undeliverable, the County Authority shall determine whether the notice was returned due to mislabeling the address on the mailing. If the return is due to such an error, that notice shall be mailed with the corrected address, and this new notice shall indicate a new date by which the accumulation must be removed which shall be no earlier than 15 days following the date the new notice is mailed. If the return is not due to any such error, the notice shall be deemed properly sent notwithstanding the fact it was returned.
