The notices required by Section 8.20.040 of this chapter shall include the following statement:
The owner of the premises from which the vehicle(s) or parts thereof was removed may file with the hearing examiner a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence on the property of the vehicle(s) or parts thereof listed, together with reasons for such denial.
The statement shall be construed as a request for a hearing without the need for personal attendance. At the hearing, the statement will be considered by the hearing examiner in determining whether the cost of removing the vehicle(s) or parts thereof will be assessed against the property as a lien.
The owner of the premises need not file a sworn statement if the owner intends to attend the hearing, but may do so.
