Except as otherwise provided in this section, any person, firm or corporation, whether as principal or agent, who has violated or permitted the violation of this section, shall, upon being found liable therefore in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by the township, be subject to the penalty provided in § 202.99, plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney fees incurred by the township as a result thereof. No judgment or fine shall commence or be imposed, levied or payable until the date of the determination of a violation by the Magisterial Judge. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment or fine, the municipality may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable Rules of Civil Procedure. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation unless the Magisterial Judge, determining that there has been a violation, further determines that there is a good faith basis for the person, partnership, firm or corporation violating this section to have believed that there was no such violation, in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation until the fifth day following the date of the determination of the violation by the Magisterial Judge and, thereafter, each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. All judgments, fines, costs and reasonable attorney fees collected for the violation of this section shall be paid over to the township.
