(A) Violations. Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter or who shall fail to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter or who shall make any false statement in any document required to be submitted under the provisions of this chapter, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate offense.
(B) Stop work orders. Whenever any work is being done contrary to the provisions of this chapter, the county may order the work stopped by written notice personally served upon the property owner or applicant named in the permit. All activities shall cease and desist until subsequent authorization to proceed is received from the county or a court of competent jurisdiction.
(C) Injunctive relief and other remedies. In the event of a violation or a threat of a violation of this chapter, the county may institute appropriate actions or proceedings, including injunctive relief, to prevent, restrain, correct or abate such violations or threat of violations. The county may recover costs incurred for corrective action in a civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction, and such costs may be certified by court order to the County Auditor as a special tax against the real property. These and other remedies, as determined appropriate by the county, may be imposed upon the applicant, permittee, installer, property owner, or other responsible person in addition to or separate from other enforcement actions.
