The notice and hearing steps depend on the local ordinance; Missouri has separate provisions for some larger cities. If ordered work is left undone, the local government may arrange it and add the cost to a special tax bill and property lien, or a contractor's lien. RSMo §67.400, dangerous-building ordinances · RSMo §67.410, notice and liens.
