  • Any property that has been observed by county personnel as being abandoned for longer than 60 days via notice of violation as required in section 2-102(2) of this Code, must erect a fence or other suitable barrier approved by Cobb County to prevent continued dumping violations within 30 days of receipt of notice of violation. The county is authorized to erect a suitable barrier if any owner has failed to erect such after proper notification of violation as required in section 2-102(2) of this Code. Upon failure to comply after proper notice, the code enforcement officer shall certify to the director of finance the expense incurred in remedying the condition whereupon such expense plus any administrative penalty as provided in the following section, shall become payable within 30 calendar days, after which a special assessment lien and charge shall be attached to the property, which shall be payable with interest at the rate of eight percent per annum from the date of such certification until paid.

    Such lien shall be in favor of Cobb County, Georgia, and may be satisfied at any time by payment thereof including accrued interest. Notice of such lien shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court and recorded among the public records of Cobb County, Georgia.
