B. Any costs, including actual administrative costs and actual attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by the Health District in securing property or abating the condition of the property may be collected by any appropriate legal remedy. These costs may be assessed against the property, the persons to whom the order was directed, and the owners of the property upon which the cost was incurred.

C. Notice of costs incurred shall be sent by first class and certified mail to the owners of the property upon which the costs are assessed or other persons against whom the costs are charged. The Health Officer may modify the amount, methods, or time of payment of such costs upon considering the condition of the property and the circumstances of the person violating the provisions of this chapter. In determining any such modification, the costs may be reduced against an individual who has acted in good faith and would suffer extreme financial hardship. [Res. 03-21. Res. 03-19.
