This bill establishes a framework for the abatement of plant-related nuisances in the City of Alabaster. It designates a city official as the enforcing official responsible for notifying property owners of nuisances and ordering their abatement within a specified timeframe, typically 14 days, with the possibility of extending this period to 28 days under certain circumstances. The bill outlines the process for serving written notice to property owners, including methods of delivery and the requirement for a public hearing if the owner contests the nuisance designation. The administrative official, appointed by the city council, will oversee hearings and render decisions regarding the existence of a nuisance.

Additionally, the bill provides for the assessment and collection of costs associated with the abatement process, which will be treated as a lien on the property, referred to as a "weed lien." The city council will assess these costs after considering an itemized statement of expenses incurred during the abatement. The costs will be added to the property owner's tax bill and collected in the same manner as municipal ad valorem taxes. The bill also stipulates that if a weed lien is not paid during a property redemption or sale, it remains enforceable until satisfied. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
