In addition to the published notice required by section 17-224, the county administrator shall provide notice, or direct the provision of notice,
of the proposed fire rescue assessment by first class mail to the owner of each parcel
of property (except government property) subject to the fire rescue assessment. Such
notice shall include (A) the purpose of the fire rescue assessment; (B) the rate of
assessment to be levied against each parcel of property including a maximum assessment
rate in the event one was adopted by the initial assessment resolution; (C) the unit
of measurement applied to determine the fire rescue assessment; (D) the number of
such units contained in each parcel of property; (E) the total revenue to be collected
by the county from the fire rescue assessment; (F) a statement that failure to pay
the fire rescue assessment will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property
or foreclosure proceedings to be instituted, either of which may result in a loss
of title to the property; (G) a statement that all affected owners have a right to
appear at the hearing and to file written objections with the board within twenty
(20) days of the notice; and (H) the date, time, and place of the hearing. The mailed
notice shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Uniform Assessment Collection
Act. Notice shall be mailed at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the hearing
to each owner at such address as is shown on the tax roll. Notice shall be deemed
mailed upon delivery thereof to the possession of the United States Postal Service.
The county administrator may provide proof of such notice by affidavit. Failure of
the owner to receive such notice due to mistake or inadvertence shall not affect the
validity of the assessment roll nor release or discharge any obligation for payment
of a fire rescue assessment imposed by the board pursuant to this article.
