(A) Penalty provision for violations of code.
(1) In all cases where the same offense is made punishable or is created by different clauses or sections of an ordinance the prosecuting officer may elect under which to proceed; but not more than one recovery shall be had against the same person for the same offense; provided, that the revocation of a license or permit shall not be considered a recovery or penalty so as to bar any other penalty being enforced.
(2) Whenever a minimum but not maximum fine or penalty is imposed, the court may in its discretion fine the offender any sum exceeding the minimum fine or penalty so imposed but not exceeding $2,500.
(3) Whenever the doing of any act or the omission to do any act constitutes a breach of any section or provision of an ordinance, and there shall be no fine or penalty declared for such breach, any person found to have violated such section or provision shall be fined not more than $2,500 for each offense.
(4) A separate offense will be deemed committed on each day on or which a violation occurs or continues.

The maximum civil penalty which may be paid to the Violations Clerk is $250. In the event the violator does not wish to admit the violation and pay the civil penalty, or in the event that the civil penalty exceeds $250, the violation shall be filed in court, and the civil penalty described in this section shall be assessed upon judgment of an ordinance violation by the court.
