Any of the following shall be a violation of the UDO and shall be subject to the enforcement remedies and penalties provided by this chapter and by state law.
(A) Development without permit. A DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT A PERMIT VIOLATION means to engage in any development, use, construction, remodeling or other activities of any nature upon the land or improvements thereon subject to the jurisdiction of the UDO without required permits, certificates or other forms of authorization as set forth in the UDO. A “development without a permit violation” shall result in the assessment of a fee per the city’s Fee Schedule.
(B) Development inconsistent with permit. A DEVELOPMENT INCONSISTENT WITH A PERMIT VIOLATION means to engage in any development, use, construction, remodeling or other activity of any nature in any way inconsistent with any approved plan, permit, certificate or other form of authorization granted for the activity.
(C) Violation by act or omission. A VIOLATION BY ACT OR OMISSION means to violate, by act or omission, any term, variance or waiver, condition or qualification placed by the Board of Commissioners or its authorized boards and staff upon any required permit, certificate or other form of authorization for the use, development or other activity upon land or improvements thereon.
(D) Use in violation. A USE IN VIOLATION means to erect, construct, reconstruct, alter, repair, convert, maintain or use any building or structure or to use any land in violation or contravention of the UDO, or any other regulation made under the authority conferred thereby.
(E) Subdivide in violation. A SUBDIVIDE IN VIOLATION means to subdivide land in violation of the UDO or transfer or sell land by reference to, exhibition of, or any other use of a plat or map showing a subdivision of the land before the plat or map has been properly approved under the UDO and recorded in the county office of the Register of Deeds. The description by metes and bounds in the instrument of transfer or other document used in the process of selling or transferring land does not exempt the transaction from violation of the UDO.
(F) Continue a violation. Each day’s violation of any provision of the UDO is a separate and distinct offense.
