Perfected

SB 57 - This act allows the cities of Farmington and Perryville to remove weeds or trash without a hearing or notice from a property that has more than one ordinance violation within a growing season for overgrown weeds or within a calendar year for trash.

Such cities may recoup the costs of the removal from the property owner by issuing a special tax bill to be collected with other taxes assessed against the property. If the bill is not paid when due, the cities may charge eight percent interest on the amount owed.

The provisions of this act do not apply to lands owned by a public utility or any rights-of-way, easements or lands controlled by a railroad.

This act contains a provision identical to HB 60 (2013).
