114.2 Notice of violation. The building official is authorized to serve a notice of violation of any provision of this code, or of a permit or certificate issued under this code, or for the failure to obtain a required permit, on the owner, the owner’s agent, any person(s) identified on permit forms or any person who is the Qualifying Individual on the Johnson County Contractors License as being legally responsible for any violations of the code pertaining to that permit.

A description of the violation and necessary correction or abatement.
3.

A correction order to remove, abate or otherwise bring the violation into proper compliance within 10 days.
4.

A statement of the owner or owner’s agent’s right to appeal within 10 days from the date of the notice.
5.

A statement that the failure to comply shall result in the City's right (but not obligation) to correct or abate the violation at the owner's expense, and that failure to thereafter pay the costs within 30 days of a notice of costs may result in the filing of a special tax assessment against the property, or the filing for judgment against the recipient, or both.
6.

A statement that the violation is subject to prosecution.

The notice may be served by any of the following means: (i) personal service; (ii) certified or first-class mail to the person’s last known address; or (iii) if the notice is returned showing the mailed notice was not delivered, posting in a conspicuous place on the affected property. The building official may grant an extension of the correction period if the owner or other applicable person demonstrates that due diligence is being exercised in removing, abating or otherwise correcting the violation.
