Within thirty calendar days after abatement of the nuisance by the city, the city engineer shall notify the owner of the property of the cost of abatement, including administrative costs. The property owner may file a written protest objecting to the amount of the assessment with the city clerk within seven calendar days. The city clerk shall set the matter for public hearing by the city council. At least ten calendar days prior to the scheduled hearing, the city shall mail notice as set forth in Section 8.46.280 of the time and place of the hearing to the property owner. The decision of the city council shall be ratified by resolution and shall be final.

The amount due shall be paid within thirty calendar days of the decision of the city manager or designee or the expiration of such time as is set for payment. Thereafter, the charges shall become a special assessment against the property and shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of the assessment. The city clerk shall cause an entry to be made on the tax roll opposite the description of the property, as follows: “Abating public nuisance, $_____,” filling in the amount of the expense in each particular case, and the auditor/tax collector shall cause a corresponding entry to be made on the current assessment roll for the property; and thereafter, before any further payment shall be received for any tax or for the redemption of said property, the cost of abating such nuisance shall first be paid.
