§ 80-8. Public hearing; abatement by the Village; assessment against property.


Latest version.
  • A. 
    Upon the failure of an owner, tenant or occupant to comply with a notice to abate a public nuisance, the Village Board shall hold a public hearing. The public hearing shall be held upon notice posted conspicuously on the affected property and forwarded by certified mail to the last known address of the property owner, as it appears on the current assessment rolls of the Village. Posting and service of such notice shall not be less than 15 days prior to the date of such hearing.
    B. 
    The Village Board, after a public hearing as provided in Subsection A, may abate the public nuisance upon the failure of such owner, tenant or occupant to comply with the order of the Village Clerk or Building Inspector to do so. The Village Board shall ascertain the cost of the proceeding and the costs to abate the nuisance, and such costs shall be charged and assessed against the owner of the property. The costs so assessed shall constitute a lien and charge on the real property on which it is levied, until paid or otherwise satisfied or discharged, and shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as other Village charges.
