A. The mayor, chief of police, fire chief, building inspector, or any other authorized city official may, ten (10) days after notice to the landowner or person occupying the premises, cause weeds (or any other nuisance as defined in section 1-3-2) to be removed, obliterated or cut as often as necessary on lots, lands or premises where weeds exceed eight inches (8") in height.
B. Notice of such order of abatement shall be placed in a conspicuous location upon the premises, or the nuisance to be abated, or both. Copies of said notices shall be served upon any adult occupying the premises; provided however, if no person is occupying the premises or no occupant can be found after reasonable diligence, posted notice shall suffice.
C. If the presence of the weeds offending this code, or the presence of any other nuisance as provided under this code, are not removed within the time so fixed by the notice, the mayor, chief of police, fire chief, building inspector, or any other authorized city official may, abate the offending weeds or other nuisance. The city shall have the power to employ such labor as is necessary to abate the nuisance, and to defray the expense(s) of such abatement the city may levy a special assessment on the real property or premises whereon the same was maintained in the manner provided under Idaho Code section 50-334. (Ord. 1137, 11-12-2002; amd. Ord. 1256, 3-9-2021)
