A. If the property owner does not pay the cost of abating the nuisance within thirty calendar days after the cost becomes final or the hearing officer confirms the costs of abatement, the cost shall become a special assessment against the real property upon which the nuisance was abated. The assessment shall continue until it is paid, together with interest at the legal maximum rate computed from the date of confirmation of the statement until payment. The assessment may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes.
B. The Director shall notify the property owner in writing of the property owner's right to be publicly heard by City Council prior to City Council adopting a resolution assessing such unpaid costs of abatement as liens upon the respective parcels of land. The notice shall include the date, time, and location of the public hearing.
C. The City Council shall adopt a resolution at a public hearing assessing such unpaid costs of abatement as liens upon the respective parcels of land as they are shown upon the last available assessment roll.
