When the Town Building Official has determined that a zoning violation has probably occurred and informal resolution is unsuccessful or inappropriate due to the nature of the violation, the Town Building Official shall send a notice of violation to the responsible party by certified mail, return receipt requested. The notice shall state the location of the property, the nature of the violation, the section(s) of this chapter being violated, a time limit for compliance not exceeding ten days, the penalty for violations and suggested corrective actions. At the Town Building Official’s discretion, the time limit for compliance may be extended for an additional ten days if the landowner is making progress toward compliance. If substantial compliance is not achieved within the specified time, the Town Building Official shall refer the case to the Town Attorney for enforcement action pursuant to § 152.184. A notice of violation may be appealed to the Board of Appeals, pursuant to §§ 152.165 through 152.169, and the notice of violation shall advise of this opportunity for appeal.
