All costs, including an administrative fee, incurred by the city under section 48.210 shall be assessed, levied and collected as a special assessment payable in one sum or by up to ten (10) equal annual installments as the council may provide against the premises from which it was removed, in the manner provided for in this section.

Such notice shall state the amount and basis for the costs and the time, date and place of a hearing before a hearing officer appointed by the council to determine the validity and amount of the proposed assessment.

The notice shall state that the owner may appeal the assessment to the district court within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment by the council at an annual meeting. The notice shall also inform the owner of the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 435.193 to 435.195 and of the existence of any deferment procedure. (2002-Or-169, § 21, 11-8-02)
