A written statement from the person in violation, either filing an administrative appeal consistent with §§ 155.130 through 155.142 or giving notice of the filing of an action with a court, shall be submitted to the Planning Director via certified mail at least three days prior to the date any fine is due.
(B) Fines due will be postponed until the BZA or court of jurisdiction has made a ruling as to the violation and/or fine. The person(s) in violation shall have 30 days to file for a hearing with the BZA or court of jurisdiction.
