Be served upon the owner or the occupant, as the case may require; provided, that such notice shall be deemed to be properly served upon such owner or upon such occupant if a copy thereof: 1. Is served upon him personality; 2. Is sent by registered mail to his last known address; 3. Is posted in a conspicuous place in or about the dwelling affected by the notice. Such notice may contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this Chapter and with rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto.

Property owners and managers subject to Taylorville CHAPTER 6 RENTAL PROPERTY § 9-6-10 should be aware that a written violation notice from the Health and Building Officer will specify what alleged violation exists and set a correction deadline of no fewer than 30 days in non-emergency situations. Compliant operators typically maintain current contact information on file with the municipality so that registered-mail service reaches them promptly, and they document corrective actions taken within the allotted timeframe. The notice may also include an outline of remedial steps that, if followed, would bring the property into compliance with the chapter's requirements.
