If an aircraft is not registered within the time periods prescribed in this article, the director shall assess registration fees, license taxes and penalties due as follows:

1. The director shall give written notice of the assessment to the owner of the aircraft by either mailing the notice in a postage prepaid sealed envelope addressed to the owner of the aircraft at the owner's address as it appears in the records of the department or by delivery in person. Notice is deemed to be complete at the time of mailing or at the time of personal delivery.

2. The assessment is final thirty days after notice is deemed to be complete, unless, before that time, the department receives a written objection to the assessment and a request for a hearing from the owner. If the department receives a request for a hearing, the hearing shall be conducted as provided in section 28-8244.
