D. Code Construed In Light Of State Statutes:
1. The Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings shall be construed so as to give effect to the Statutes of the State which authorize cities to abate dangerous buildings and shall not be construed as to require the City to follow a more restrictive procedure than that set forth in State Statute.
2. The City may attach the costs of abating a dangerous building pursuant to this Code to the Property Taxes as provided by State Statute. (2001 Code §§ 18-2-201 - 18-2-303; amd. Ord. 17-59, 10-25-2017; Ord. 21-11, 3-24-2021)
