Fulton Tax bill for city's cost to repair, demolish or remove building—Generally ordinance (§ 18-6)

If after being duly ordered by the planning and code enforcement officer to repair, demolish, or remove a building, an owner fails to repair, demolish, or remove a building, the city shall do so. The cost of repair, demolition, or removal of such building shall be certified to the city clerk, who shall cause a special tax bill to be entered upon the records of the city as an assessment against the property to be collected as other city property taxes. However, at the request of the taxpayer, the bill may be paid in installments over a period of not more than ten years. If the taxpayer elects to pay the tax bill in installments, the installments shall be due monthly and shall bear interest from the date of the assessment at the rate of ten percent per annum. The tax bill shall be a lien on the property from the date of issuance until paid in full.
