Any of the following shall be a violation of this chapter and shall be subject to the enforcement remedies and penalties provided by this subchapter 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 this chapter without required permits, certificates or other forms of authorization as set forth in this chapter. A "development without a permit violation" shall result in the assessment of a fee that is double the normal permit fee.
(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 such 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 City Council or its authorized boards 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 this chapter, 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 this chapter 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 this chapter and recorded in the Lincoln 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 this chapter.
