City of Alabaster; weed nuisance, abatement authorized, procedures established

SB 276 establishes procedures for addressing overgrown vegetation that becomes a public nuisance in Alabaster, Alabama. It requires the city to notify property owners in writing about the nuisance, giving them 14 days (extendable to 28 days) to remove the vegetation or request a hearing before an administrative official. If the issue isn't resolved, the city can abate the nuisance itself and bill the property owner for costs, which become a lien on the property similar to property taxes. This affects all property owners in Alabaster whose plants are deemed a nuisance under the law.
