5-4-1: INSPECTION AND NOTICE:
Undeveloped lots which have weeds, grass or other growth which constitute an existing or potential fire hazard shall be abated by the owner of the property. Weed abatement compliance shall be accomplished by disking, plowing or mowing weeds within four inches (4") of the ground. The city shall survey properties within the city and identify those needing abatement and then serve notice in writing upon the owner or occupant of such land in person or by mailing notice, postage prepaid, addressed to the owner or occupant at the last known mailing address as indicated by the records of the county assessor. The notice shall require the owner or occupant as the case may be to abate the weeds by a specific time, which shall not be less than ten (10) days from the date of service of such notice. One notice shall be deemed sufficient on any lot or parcel of property for the entire season of weed growth during that year. The city shall make proof of service of such notice under oath, and file the same in the office of the city recorder. (Ord. 2006-27A, 9-27-2006)
