ASSESSMENTS - RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE OF
UNPAID MOWING, CLEAN-UP OF PROPERTY, SNOW REMOVAL, SIDEWALK
REPAIR, AND STOP BOX REPAIR CHARGES AND DIRECTING THE CLERK TO
CERTIFY THE SAME TO THE JOHNSON COUNTY TREASURER FOR
COLLECTION IN THE SAME MANNER AS PROPERTY TAXES.
Comment: The City has the authority under Iowa Code §364.136 to assess the
nuisance abatement costs in the same manner as a property tax. This resolution
allows the City Clerk to certify to the Johnson County Treasurer the abatement cost
to be assessed against the property. This assessment is being pursued only after the
City took many steps to resolve the matter. The City notified the home owners to
abate the nuisance (for example, to remove snow from the sidewalk) and after the
home owner did not take action to abate the nuisance, the City abated the nuisance
and billed the owner. After being billed at least twice, these owners still have not
paid the abatement costs. The City has sent a letter to the home owner giving them
notice that this resolution would be on the agenda, a copy of which is attached to the
resolution. No interest will be charged if the owner pays within 30 days of the first
required publication. Attached as an exhibit to the resolution is a list of the properties
that will be assessed and the amount that will be assessed.
