A. Except as otherwise provided, any notice required to be served under this chapter must be completed by either:
1. Personal service; or
2. Service by United States mail addressed to the person to be notified at the address as listed in the last equalized assessment roll. Service by mail is complete at the time of deposit in the mail. Failure of any person to receive a properly-addressed notice by mail shall not invalidate any action, decision, determination, or proceeding under this chapter.
B. Whenever an enforcement official has cause to believe, based upon an inspection, complaint, or report, that a property is a vacant property and has not been maintained, managed, or monitored as required by this chapter, and is not otherwise exempt from the requirements of this chapter, then the enforcement official may cause a written notice to be served on the owner of record, as shown on the assessor's records, requiring the owner to bring the property into compliance with this chapter by a date certain. No administrative citations or penalties for violations of this chapter shall be assessed until after such date. (Ord. 2023-11-1545 § 11 (part), 2023)
