Whenever the county finds, by inspection, that a person has violated a prohibition or has failed to meet a requirement of this chapter or the maintenance agreement, the county may order compliance by sending a written notice of violation to the developer, property owner or their assignees, including any homeowners association. All violations shall be corrected within the time period specified in the notice. The notice of violation shall be either mailed to the responsible party, or by personally serving the responsible party with a written notice of violation. If the violation is not corrected as specified or if the county believes that the violation is grievous enough, the county may, without limitation perform the corrective action. The cost and expenses of such corrective action shall be invoiced to the party found in violation. If not paid within 30 calendar days, it will be collected with any other taxes levied thereon for the year in which the work was completed. The county may also place liens on the property. Appeal may be made to the county Code Enforcement Board.
