(1) the executive of a county, city, or town that has jurisdiction in the location of a property may petition a court for a determination that the property is abandoned; or
(2) an enforcement authority, as defined by IC 36-7-9-2, may seek a determination from a hearing authority under IC 36-7-9. The hearing authority may make a determination of abandonment using the standards set forth in IC 32-30-10.6-5 after notice to the owner and a hearing under IC 36-7-9-7.
