§ 220.120. Pro Rata Distribution of Costs of Abating Nuisance Located On Property of More Than One Owner.
Latest version.
If any nuisance abated by the City Manager as provided by this
Chapter extended, before the abatement, over the property of more
than one (1) owner, the cost of abating the same shall be assessed
in proportion to the amount of work and expense for each proportionate
part of the entire work and the area, and the special tax bills provided
for by this Chapter shall be levied and collected accordingly, but
in determining who is the owner of any particular lot, plot or parcel
of land for the pro rata distribution of the assessment of such cost,
each group of owners, as for instance in joint tenancy or in common,
shall be deemed a single owner in order to preserve to the City its
lien against the particular lot, plot or parcel of land under the
special tax bill levied against the same as aforesaid.
