Upon determination by the County Building Inspector that weeds and/or rank vegetation exist, the Building Inspector shall issue a written notice to the landowner that the weeds and/or rank vegetation must be removed within ten days of the mailing of the notice, which notice shall be sent to at least one of the landowner’s last known address by U.S. certified mail, or, in the alternative, the Building Inspector may have the Sheriff’s Department deliver the notice to the landowner personally, and such notice shall be deemed given on the date of mailing if mailed, or on the date of personal delivery if served by the Sheriff’s Department. The landowner may appeal the order to remove the weeds and/or rank vegetation by delivering to the office of the Building Inspector written notice of contest within ten days of the mailing of the notice if mailed, or within ten days of delivery of the notice if delivered by the Sheriff’s Department. The appeal by the landowner shall be heard and determined by the Board of Commissioners at its next regularly scheduled meeting, at which time the landowner may appear and be heard.
