A notice of assessment shall be served by mail and an application for adjustment of the assessment may be made to the license inspector within five (5) days after the notice is mailed or the assessment will become final. The license inspector shall establish by regulation the procedure for hearing an application for adjustment of assessment and issuing a notice of final assessment. A final assessment may be appealed to city council only by payment in full of the assessment under protest within five (5) days and the filing of written notice of appeal within ten (10) days after payment pursuant to the provisions of this article relating to appeals to city council.
