Glasgow Fees for Abatement by City ordinance (§ 215.070)
Chapter 215: Nuisances · Article II. Weeds, High Grass Or Other Vegetation and Debris
In short: When the city abates a violation, the property owner is charged a $150.00 administrative fee plus $75.00 per employee hour (for example, a two-person crew working 3 hours is 6 person-hours, or $450.00), and if the city does the work, also the crew's reasonable expenses.
Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
For each abatement process, there shall be a charge of one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) as an administrative fee for preparation and delivery of required notices and hearing time. The fees for the actual abatement of the violation by the City shall be seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per employee hour for either City employees or for independent contractors hired by the City to abate the violation. That is, if a two-person crew works a total of three (3) hours, the fee shall be for six (6) person-hours at seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per hour, or a total of four hundred fifty dollars ($450.00). If the City does the abatement, in addition to the employee fee there shall be imposed charges for all reasonable expenses incurred by said crew in abating the violation.
