Lake City, Utah, 1955, relating to Health, by adding thereto a new chapter
to be known as Chapter 15 entitled "Inspection and Cleaning of Real Property."
Be it ordained by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City,
Utah:
SECTION 1. That Title 18 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City,
Utah, 1955, relating to Health, be, and the same hereby is, amended by add-
ing thereto a new chapter to be known as Chapter 15 entitled "Inspection
and Cleaning of Real Property," to read as follows:
"CHAPTER 15.
INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF REAL PROPERTY.
Sec. 18-15-1. Real property to be kept clean. It shall
be unlawful for any person owning or occupying any real property
in Salt Lake City to fail to control the growth of injurious and
noxious weeds on such property, or to fail to remove from such
property any such weeds or any garbage, refuse and any unsightly
or deleterious objects or structures upon notice from the in-
spector as provided in this chapter.
Sec. 18-15-2. Standards of weed control. Weeds shall be
cut and cleared from all real property in Salt Lake City at
least three (3) times during each calendar year, as follows:
1. Once on or before the 15th day of May.
2. Again on or before the 15th day of July.
3. Again on or before the 15th day of October.
Such weeds shall be cut so as to extend no more than six (6)
inches above the ground. After cutting, all such weeds shall
be immediately removed from the premises.
Sec. 18-15-3. Inspector appointed. The chief sanitarian
of the health department is hereby appointed city inspector of
real property to enforce the provisions of this chapter.
Sec. 18-15-4. Duty of inspector - Investigation. It
shall be the duty of the city inspector and his assistants to
make examination and investigation of all real property within
48
- 2 -
the city to determine whether the owners of such property are
complying with the provisions of this chapter.
Sec. 18-15-5. Duty of inspector - Notice. Upon a deter-
mination that a violation of the provisions of this chapter
exists, the city inspector shall ascertain the name of the
owner and description of the premises where the violation
exists, and shall serve notice in writing upon the owner or
occupant of such property, either personally or by mailing
notice, postage prepaid, addressed to the owner or occupant
at the last known post office address as disclosed by the
records of the county assessor, requiring such owner or
occupant, as the case may be, to eradicate or destroy or re-
move, the weeds, refuse, garbage, objects or structures,
causing the violation within such time as the inspector may
designate, which shall be no less than ten (10) days from the
date of service of such notice. If notice has already been
served once during the calendar year directing removal of
weeds, no further notice need be served to compel such weed
removal during such calendar year.
Sec. 18-15-6. Cleaning of property by city upon owner's
failure to comply. If any owner or occupant of property
described in the notice provided in this chapter shall fail
to eradicate or destroy and remove such weeds, refuse, garbage,
objects or structures in accordance with such notice, it shall
be the duty of the inspector to employ necessary assistants and
cause such weeds, refuse, garbage, objects or structures to be
destroyed or removed. The city inspector shall prepare an
itemized statement of all expenses incurred in the removal and
destruction of same and shall mail a copy thereof to the owner
demanding payment within twenty (20) days of the date of mail-
ing. Such notice shall be deemed delivered when mailed by
registered mail addressed to the last known address of the
property owner.
Sec. 18-15-7. Alternate methods of compelling payment.
In the event the owner fails to make payment of the amount set
forth in said statement to the Salt Lake City Treasurer within
twenty (20) days of the date of mailing, the inspector either
may cause suit to be brought in an appropriate court of law
or may refer the matter to the county treasurer as provided
in this chapter.
Sec. 18-15-8. Collection by law suit. In the event col-
lection of expenses of destruction and removal are pursued
through the court, the city shall sue for and receive judgment
for all of said expenses of destruction and removal, together
with reasonable attorneys fees, interest and court costs and
shall execute upon such judgment in the manner provided by law.
Sec. 18-15-9. Collection through taxes. In the event
that the inspector elects to refer the expenses of destruction
or removal to the county treasurer for inclusion in the tax
notice of the property owner, he shall make in triplicate an
itemized statement of all expenses incurred in the destruction
and removal of the same and shall deliver the three copies of
18
- 3 -
the said statement to the county treasurer within ten (10) days
after the completion of the work of destroying or removing such
weeds, refuse, garbage, objects or structures.
Sec. 18-15-10. Costs of removal to be included in tax
notice. Upon receipt of the itemized statement of the cost of
destroying or removing such weeds, refuse, garbage, objects or
structures, the county treasurer shall forthwith mail one (1)
copy to the owner of the land from which the same were removed,
together with a notice that objection in writing may be made
within thirty (30) days to the whole or any part of the state-
ment so filed to the board of county commissioners. The county
treasurer shall at the same time deliver a copy of the state-
ment to the clerk of the board of county commissioners. If
objections to any statement are filed with the county commis-
sioners, they shall set a date for hearing, giving notice
thereof, and upon the hearing fix and determine the actual cost
of removing the weeds, garbage, refuse or unsightly or dele-
terious objects or structures, and report their findings to the
county treasurer. If no objections to the items of the account
so filed are made within thirty days of the date of mailing such
itemized statement, the county treasurer shall enter the amount
of such statement on the assessment rolls of the county in the
column prepared for that purpose, and likewise within ten (10)
days from the date of the action of the board of county commis-
sioners upon objections filed shall enter in the prepared column
upon the tax rolls the amount found by the board of county com-
missioners as the cost of destroying or removing the said weeds,
refuse, garbage or unsightly and deleterious objects or struc-
tures. If current tax notices have been mailed, said taxes may
be carried over on the rolls to the following year. After the
entry by the county treasurer of the costs of removing weeds,
garbage, refuse or unsightly and deleterious objects or struc-
tures the amount so entered shall have the force and effect of
a valid judgment of the district court, and shall be a lien
upon the lands from which the weeds, garbage, refuse or un-
sightly and deleterious objects or structures were destroyed
and removed, and shall be collected by the county treasurer at
the time of the payment of general taxes. Upon payment thereof
receipt shall be acknowledged upon the general tax receipt
issued by the treasurer."
SECTION 2. In the opinion of the Board of Commissioners, it is
necessary to the peace, health and safety of the inhabitants of Salt Lake
City, Utah, that this ordinance become effective immediately.
SECTION 3. This ordinance shall take effect upon its first
publication.
