When any growth which violates Subsection (A) of this Section exists on any lot, tract, parcel or other real property or upon any sidewalk abutting thereon within the City, the City Administrator shall, if he desires to avail the City of the remedies available under Subsection (C) below, give individual notice of the violation to each owner or agent of an owner of such property, said notice to contain the following information: the growth which constitutes the violation of Subsection (A), the street address or legal description of the property involved, the names of all owners of the property, a demand to the owners for compliance with the provisions of Subsection (A), that a hearing shall be held by the City Administrator on said violation on a specified date not earlier than four (4) days after the notice is given to every owner or agent, the time and place of the hearing and that if the City Administrator at the hearing declares the growth to constitute a nuisance, the owner or agent has five (5) business days thereafter to cut, destroy or remove the growth and if not done, the City may do so and issue a special property tax bill for the cost of said work which shall be a first lien on the real estate until paid, with interest accruing on said bill at eight percent (8%) per annum.

If said growth is not cut down, destroyed or otherwise removed within five (5) business days after the date of the hearing, the City Administrator shall thereafter have said growth cut down and removed by the City and shall certify costs thereof to the City Clerk. The City Clerk shall cause a special tax bill therefor against the said property to be prepared and to be collected by the Collector, with other taxes assessed against the property. The tax bill from the date of its issuance shall be a first lien on the property until paid and shall be prima facie evidence of the recitals therein and of its validity, and no mere clerical error or informality in the same or in the proceedings leading up to the issuance shall be a defense thereto. Each special tax bill shall be issued by the City Clerk and delivered to the Collector on or before the first (1st) day of June of each year. Such tax bills if not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.
Any owner or agent of any owner of any lot, tract, parcel or other real property within the City who shall fail to cut, destroy, or otherwise remove any weeds, grass or deleterious, unhealthful growths or other noxious matter that is growing or located on said property or upon the sidewalk abutting thereon, except ornamental shrubs, bushes, trees and any agricultural crop, which is in excess of twelve (12) inches in height shall be guilty of an ordinance violation and shall be punished in accordance with the general penalty as provided in Section 1-7 of this Code.
