The application form shall contain a space for the name and address of the owner of the motor vehicle and the make, model, year, and motor number of his or her motor vehicle and such other information with respect thereto as the State Department of Revenue may prescribe. The application form shall also contain a space for the correct amount of ad valorem taxes, state, county, school districts, and municipal, and the amount of the motor vehicle license tax due thereon and the issuance fee, including the mailing fee provided for by this section.

The tax assessor shall cause to be correctly filled in thereon the amount of ad valorem taxes on the motor vehicle for the preceding tax year as provided by Section 40–12–253. The judge of probate shall thereupon cause the application, so filled in, to be mailed to the owner of the motor vehicle at his or her address shown thereon or at the address to which such owner requests that the application form be mailed.

(e) The owner of the motor vehicle shall, if he or she is still the owner of the motor vehicle and if he or she desires to pay his or her motor vehicle ad valorem taxes and license tax and secure his or her motor vehicle registration tag by mail, sign the application form, indicating thereon any change of address, and return the same by mail together with his or her remittance for ad valorem taxes, license taxes, and fees as shown thereon to the judge of probate. Money orders for the payment of such taxes and fees shall be made payable to the judge of probate.

The tax collector shall verify the correctness of ad valorem taxes paid.

Such additional fee shall be paid by the judge of probate into the county treasury and the actual expense of mailing application forms to the owners of the motor vehicles and of mailing tags as hereinabove provided shall be paid from the county treasury upon warrant signed by the judge of probate and approved as provided by law. Provided, however, in all counties having a population of 600,000 or more according to the last or any subsequent federal census, the director of revenue shall charge and collect a fee set by the governing body of the county, not to exceed two dollars ($2) for each motor vehicle license tag issued by mail.

Each owner of a motor vehicle shall continue to have the right to pay taxes and to receive his or her tag in person without the payment of any of the additional fees hereinabove provided. No judge of probate shall be required to collect taxes and issue license tags by mail unless he or she elects so to do.

Thereafter, the election of this additional member shall be made on an alternating basis by the members of the Senate delegation and the members of the House of Representatives delegation representing Jefferson County, respectfully. This member shall serve a four-year term commencing on October 1 and shall otherwise be subject to this section.

(d) The board of directors shall elect a chair of the board who shall serve as chair until his or her term as a member of the board, which he or she is serving at the time of election as chair, expires.

(b) The term appropriate city official as used in this section shall mean any city official or city employee designated by the mayor or other chief executive officer of such city as the person to exercise the authority and perform the duties delegated by this section to appropriate city official. Whenever the appropriate city official of such city shall find that any building, structure, part of building or structure, party wall, or foundation situated in any such city is unsafe to the extent that it is a public nuisance, such official shall give the person or persons, firm, association, or corporation last assessing the property for state taxes and all mortgages of record notice by personally serving upon such person, firm, association, or corporation a copy of the notice to remedy the unsafe or dangerous condition of such building or structure, or to demolish the same, within a reasonable time set out in the notice, which time shall not be less than 60 days or suffer such building or structure to be demolished by such city and the cost thereof assessed against the property. In the event that such personal service is returned not found after not less than two attempts, such notice may be given by registered or certified mail. The mailing of such registered mail notice, properly addressed and postage prepaid, shall constitute notice as required herein. Notice of such order, or a copy thereof, prior to the delivery or mailing of the same as required by the immediately preceding sentence, shall also be posted at or within three feet of an entrance to the building or structure, provided that if there is no entrance such notice may be posted at any location upon such building or structure.

(c)(1) Within the time specified in such notice, but not more than 60 days from the date such notice is given, any person, firm, or corporation having an interest in such building or structure may file a written request for a hearing before the governing body of the city, together with his or her objections to the finding by the city official that such building or structure is unsafe to the extent of becoming a public nuisance. The filing of such request shall hold in abeyance any action on the finding of such city official until determination thereon is made by such governing body. Upon holding such hearing, which hearing shall be held not less than 10 nor more than 60 days after such request, or in the event no hearing is timely requested, the governing body, after the expiration of 60 days from the date such notice is given, shall determine whether or not such building or structure is unsafe to the extent that it is a public nuisance.

The city clerk of such city shall give not less than 15 days’ notice of the meeting at which the fixing of such costs are to be considered by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in such city of a notice that the governing body of such city at such meeting shall consider the fixing of such costs thereat. The fixing of the costs by the governing body shall constitute a special assessment against the lot or lots, parcel, or parcels of land upon which the building or structure was located, and thus made and confirmed shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of such assessment. The lien shall be superior to all other liens on the property except liens for taxes, and shall continue in force until paid. The city clerk of the city shall mail a certified copy of the resolution by registered or certified mail to the person last assessing the property for taxes and all mortgages of record, and a certified copy of such resolution shall be published in the manner and as prescribed for the publication of municipal ordinances, and a certified copy of such resolution shall also be filed in the office of the judge of probate of the county in which such city is situated.
