Staff Analysis of the Legislation
|
|
This legislation allows local legislation permitting county ordinance violations that deal with the condition of real property to be served by leaving a copy of the citation at the property, mailing a copy to the property owner shown in the records of the tax commissioner or tax assessor, and filing a copy with the magistrate court clerk. If the owner of the property fails to attend the trial, a fine against the property (i.e., "in rem") is the only penalty permitted. |
