Such demand shall be in writing and filed with the Building Official. Such demand shall be presented by the Building Official to the Board of Examiners, Appeals and Condemnation at its next regular meeting.

The Building Official shall give written notice of the hearing to the address furnished in the demand for hearing. At the time set for the hearing, the Board of Examiners, Appeals and Condemnation shall hear all evidence pertinent to the reasonableness of the charges and shall then either confirm or modify the charges. The decision of the Board of Examiners, Appeals and Condemnation thereon shall be final.

B.

If the amount of the charges as determined by the Board of Examiners, Appeals and Condemnation has not been paid within sixty (60) days after the date of the hearing, the payment thereof shall thereupon become delinquent and such amount so determined shall thereafter bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) until paid or until filed with the Tax Collector as provided in this Chapter. If no hearing is demanded as to the reasonableness of the charges, the payment thereafter shall become delinquent at the expiration of the time for filing of a demand for a hearing thereon.
