The enforcement officer may record on title to the property through the Kern County Assessor Recorder a declaration that a substandard property has been inspected and found to be such, as defined in this chapter, and that all parties concerned have been or will be so notified. The costs incurred by the enforcement officer in the investigation of such properties, issuance of notices with respect to such properties, preparation of the declarations under this section, and notification of concerned parties under this section, shall be due prior to release of such declaration from title. After the enforcement officer finds that the nuisances triggering the designation of substandard property have been abated and either that such abatement has been accomplished at no cost to the City, or such costs have been placed upon the tax rolls as a special assessment pursuant to section 25845 of the Government Code, or that the enforcement officer's jurisdiction has been prompted by government acquisition of the property, the enforcement officer shall record a document terminating the declaration through the Department of Registrar-Recorder.
