§ 46-27. Method of notice; construction.

(a)

Notice . All notices required by this article shall be provided to the owner(s) consistent with the requirements for notice provided in F.S. § 162.12, regarding notices for code enforcement cases, except that if any notice sent by certified mail is not signed as received within 15 days after the date of mailing, notice may be provided by posting as described in F.S. § 162.12(2)(b). Notice by posting may run concurrently with, or may follow, an attempt or attempts to provide notice by hand delivery or by mail as set forth above. Evidence that an attempt has been made to hand deliver or mail notice as provided above, together with proof of posting, shall be sufficient to show that the notice requirements of this part have been met, without regard to whether or not the owner actually received such notice.

(b)

Construction of notice . A property owner shall be deemed to have notice of a nuisance activity if that property owner: (1) has actual knowledge of the nuisance activity; (2) has received notice of the nuisance activity; (3) has reason to know about the nuisance activity; (4) knows about a fact related to the nuisance activity; or (5) is able to ascertain the existence of a nuisance by checking an official filing or recording. The lack of knowledge of, acquiescence, or participation in, or responsibility for a nuisance activity on the part of property owner shall not be a defense to any enforcement of this article.
