(A) There shall be a three-step procedure for violations of this chapter.
(B) These steps are as follows:
(1) The Plan Commission, Zoning Administrator or designated representative of the Plan Commission or Town Council shall issue a notice of fines and penalties to the person(s) who have committed, in whole or in part, a violation. The notice of fines and penalties is a warning to the violator(s) that a violation has been determined and that it must be corrected within 15 days of the mailed date of notice or posting of notice. If the violation has been corrected within the 15 days from the date of the notice of fine and penalties, no fines or penalties will be imposed.
(2) The Plan Commission, Zoning Administrator or designated representative of the Plan Commission/Town Council shall issue a notice of violation to the person(s) who have committed, in whole or in part, a violation. The notice of violation is a citation that states and imposes the fines and penalties for the violation. The person(s) in violation will have 15 days to pay said fees and/or comply with the penalties. The person(s) in violation must correct the violation within 15 days or face additional notices of violation.
(3) If the person(s) in violation refuse to pay or comply with the penalties, or correct the violation, after notice, the Plan Commission or Town Council may pursue court action through the court of jurisdiction. Fines and liens against the property may also be pursued until the matter is resolved.
