Section 8.80.050 Service of notice.

A copy of the notice shall be served on the owner or an agent prior to the commencement of any judicial action by the city. Service shall be made either personally or by mailing a copy of the notice by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested to each person at his or her address as it appears in the records of the county auditor.

Additionally, a copy of the notice shall be served on the occupant of the structure if that person is different than the owner prior to the commencement of any judicial proceeding and may be made either personally or by mailing a copy of the notice by firstclass mail, postage prepaid, to that person at the structure. In the event that notice is impossible to be served as set out above, a copy of the notice may be posted at the property if ten (10) days have elapsed from the service or mailing of the notice to the owner and no response or reply has been received by the city from the owner or occupant during that period of time.

The failure of any person or owner to receive actual notice of the determination of the chief of police shall not preclude future proceedings under this chapter. (Ord. 96/U-4728)
