§ 54-192. Procedures for and effect of mailed notices.

Notices shall be mailed to the violator's address indicated on the records of the Collier County Property Appraiser of such lot or parcel of land for ad valorem taxation purposes, whether mailed by regular U.S. Postal Service upon the person, for the purpose of this article. A property owner is deemed to have received a mailed notice on the 10th day after the notice is placed in the United States mail. Evidence that the proper notice has been mailed is sufficient to demonstrate that the notice requirements of this article have been met, without regard to whether the property owner actually received such notice. Refusal to accept service of such notices by a property owner or its agent will not defeat this personal service, nor bar the county from proceeding with enforcement, creating lawful liens, and performing the necessary abatement under this article. It is the property owner's responsibility to maintain a current address with the Collier County Property Appraiser's office at all times.
