Glasgow Non-Resident Owner to Be Notified ordinance (§ 520.060)
Chapter 520: Sidewalks and Retaining Walls
In short: Out-of-town lot owners with no known local agent are notified of aldermen's orders to build or repair a retaining wall, sidewalk or pavement by newspaper notice in Chariton County for two consecutive weeks, with the publisher's fee charged to the owner. If the owner doesn't comply within 20 days of the last publication, the city does the work at the owner's expense.
