§ 13-152. Cutting of grass and weeds by city—Collection of costs.

Whenever the director or his agent has the work done pursuant to section 13-151, he shall determine the costs and expenses of such work.

(1)

When the notice required by the building code was directed to a person other than the owners of the property, the director shall bill the person to whom the notice was directed for the actual cost of such work, plus the charge for administrative costs. If such bill is not paid within thirty (30) days, legal action may be instituted for its collection.

(2)

The director shall certify to the city treasurer the amount of the actual cost of such work, plus the administrative costs; and the city treasurer shall include such total amount in the next regular tax bill for payment, and such amount shall be collected by the treasurer as other taxes and levies are collected. Every charge assessed under this section which remains unpaid shall constitute a lien against such real property.
