Copy as parenthetical citation

Sec. 17. (a) The works board may require the owners of abutting property to construct or repair the owners' own sidewalks or curbs if the works board:

(1) desires to improve or repair any sidewalks or curbs in the unit; and

(2) adopts a final resolution to that effect.

(b) The works board must give notice of the order concerning the construction or repair to the abutting property owners in person or by mail. Mailing of notices to owners as the names of the owners appear on the assessor's books of the county in which the land is located complies with this requirement.

(c) A property owner has thirty (30) days from the date of the notice to construct the sidewalks or curbs or make the repairs as required by the notice.

(d) If a property owner fails to comply with the order, the works board may have the sidewalk or curb constructed or repaired by an independent contractor.

As added by P.L.98-1993, SEC.7.
