The Council may provide by ordinance that unpaid administrative civil penalties the City imposes as a result of certain violations be assessed against the property that was the subject of or related to the subject matter of the penalties. The ordinance must provide that the City first attempted to obtain voluntary payment of the penalties. The ordinance must also require the City to give notice and an opportunity to be heard to the property owner listed on the official tax records before the assessments are imposed. The assessments must be collected like special assessments.
