§ 8.28.130. Cost of abatement of the violation.  


Latest version.
  • Within twenty days after abatement of the violation, an applicant will be notified of the cost of abatement, including administrative costs. The applicant may file a written protest to the council of commissioners objecting to the amount of the assessment within ten days. If the amount due is not paid within forty-five days, the charges shall become a special assessment against the property and shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of the assessment.

    Any applicant violating any of the provisions of this article shall become liable to the city-county by reason of such violation. If the sum to be repaid on or before the date due, the clerk and recorder shall certify the amount thereof, with the description of the land to be charged, and shall enter the sum on the assessment list as a special tax on the land, and shall enter the same on the assessment list of Butte-Silver Bow as a special tax on the land. If the land for any reason is exempt from general taxation, the amount of such charge may be recovered by direct claim against the lessee and collected in the same manner as personal taxes. When such charges are collected, they shall be returned to the fund from which abatement was paid.
