HB 2519: Nuisance abatement costs

Allowing nuisance abatement cost recovery for cities.

Summary

  • Authorizes cities and towns to levy a special assessment against property for the expense of abating a nuisance that threatens health or safety.
  • Provides that the special assessment constitutes a lien against property and, after the lien is recorded, up to $2,000 of the recorded lien is of equal rank with state, county, and municipal taxes.
  • Requires a city or town: (a) prior to abatement, to send notice to the property owner that abatement is pending and a special assessment may be levied for the expense; and (b) prior to levying the special assessment, send notice to the property owner and any identifiable mortgage holder stating that a special assessment will be levied and the estimated amount of the assessment.
