(a) The grounds of cancellation;

(b) That collection of the tax for the year for which cancellation was made will be enforced unless cause is shown why such action should not be taken;

(c) That the assessee may demand a hearing by the board of supervisors within ten days after the notice is sent.

If demanded, the board of supervisors shall set a time for the hearing and its decision is final as to whether or not collection of the tax should be enforced.
