As an alternate to the lien abatement procedure, the city council also establishes the following nuisance abatement procedure, in accordance with Government Code Section 38773.6, to make the cost of abatement a special assessment against real property owned by a nuisance party. To establish such an abatement special assessment against land, the same procedural steps as set forth in CMC 9.12.110(1) through (4) and the notice requirements of Government Code Section 38773.5, as such section may be periodically amended, shall be followed, except that in any required notices and/or documents, the term “lien” shall be replaced with the term “special assessment.” The assessment against the land shall also be collected at the same time and in the same manner as municipal taxes. (Ord. 632 § 2, 2013).
