Except as otherwise provided in this code, any notice required to be served on a person pursuant to the provisions of this code shall be deemed served when made in writing and either personally delivered to such person or deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid, addressed to such person at the person’s last known address. However, when a notice is required to be served on the owner of property or any other premises located within the city, such notice shall be deemed served when made in writing and deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid, addressed to the owner at the owner’s address as it appears on the last equalized or supplemental assessment roll of the County of Butte. Service of a notice by mail in the manner provided for by this section shall be effective on the date of mailing. The failure of any person to actually receive such notice shall not affect the validity of the notice.

A separate offense is committed for each and every transaction, event, or occurrence in violation of any regulatory or prohibitory provision of this code. A separate offense is committed for each and every day or part of a day during which any such violation is caused, committed, continued, or permitted. Each offense is punishable separately from every other offense.
(Ord. 2180 §2)
A violation of any regulatory or prohibitory provision of this code is an infraction, unless such provision shall otherwise provide that it is a misdemeanor, and each violation is punishable as set forth in the Charter of the City of Chico. A criminal prosecution for any violation of this code may be initiated immediately upon the occurrence of the violation and the use of any other civil or administrative remedy, review or appeal procedure which may otherwise be provided for in this code shall not be considered a prerequisite for the initiation of such criminal prosecution. The criminal prosecution of any violation of this code does not preclude the city from the further initiation of any other civil or administrative proceeding which may be available as a remedy for such violation.
