Not less than ten days prior to instituting a civil action as provided for in this article, the governing body of the City shall send notice to the landowner by certified mail, return receipt requested, advising the landowner of the governing body’s intention to institute such action. The notice shall be sent to the most recent address of the landowner of record in the office of the County Assessor.

In the event any landowner desires to contest any demand brought forth pursuant to this article, the landowner may seek relief by bringing the matter before the Mayor and Council and may appeal their decision in a court of competent jurisdiction.
All orders issued by the Building Official shall be served in accordance with the law of this State concerning the service of process in civil actions, and shall, in addition thereto, be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises affected by the complaint or order.
