§ 15-6. Nuisance violation; abatement by city.  


Latest version.
  • Whenever any nuisance violation of section 15-3 is permitted within the city and other methods of abatement of the nuisance have failed, the city may, in accordance with RSMo 71.780, have the nuisance removed and may certify the cost of the same to the city clerk which shall cause a special tax bill therefor to be issued against the property, to be collected with other taxes assessed against the property. The tax bill 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 issuance thereof shall be a defense thereto.
