Administrative Abatement Fee
Effective July 1, 2014, an Administrative Abatement Fee will be applied
to all court ordered abatements and to subsequent public nuisance
abatements during a calendar year conducted on the direction of the Code
Compliance Office. The $100 fee is designed to have a deterring effect
on property owner recidivism and convince the owner to maintain their
property in accordance with the Bowie City Code. The fee will be an
addition to the contractor's costs and other costs and fees associated
with the abatement. The fee shall constitute a lien collectable in the
same manner as real property taxes.
