regulations cited above in one of two ways:
• If your property is not currently in compliance, please take appropriate action
to bring your property into compliance and notify the city of this action.

This letter also serves as your first formal notice that the City of Tigard may use an
abatement service to correct persistent code infractions. The cost of such abatement
is at the expense of the property owner and can include a lien on the property. This
is in addition to the potential civil penalties discussed above.
Your prompt response will be appreciated. It is important to us that Tigard remain a
safe, clean, and attractive community. Thank you for your assistance in maintaining
