(A) A public hearing shall be held before the Board of Supervisors of the county upon request for such by the owner of the vehicle or the owner of land on which the vehicle was located. The request shall be made to the Board of Supervisors within ten days after the mailing of notice of intention to abate and remove the vehicle. If the owner of land on which the vehicle is located submits a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his or her land within such time period, this statement shall be construed as a request for hearing which does not require the presence of the owner submitting the request. If such a request is not received within the period, the Sheriff, his or her deputies, assistants or employees have the authority to remove the vehicle, and in such cases the Board of Supervisors shall assess administrative and removal costs.
(B) If a hearing is requested or construed to be requested the Board of Supervisors shall set a time for hearing. Fifteen days’ notice of hearing shall be mailed to all parties requesting a hearing and to all land owners who have submitted sworn written statements denying liability.
