(A) (1) In addition to any criminal prosecution instituted in District Court against an alleged violator, the Administrator may assess the fines and penalties authorized in KRS 243.480, including the per diem assessments for ongoing violations. Should the fines or penalties assessed by the state change under KRS 243.480, then the fines or penalties under this chapter shall be adjusted accordingly to mirror the fines or penalties imposed by state law. Payment of all fines shall be made to the City Clerk.

The penalties provided for in this section shall be in addition to the revocation or suspension of the offender’s license. If the offender is a corporation, LLC, joint stock company, association, or other business organization, or a fiduciary, the principal officer or officers responsible for the violation may be imprisoned.
(B) A person who violates § 4.04.050(J) shall be subject to a fine of not less than $10, nor more than $50.00 KRS 243.895.
(C) The total late filing penalty pursuant to § 4.08.150 shall not exceed 25% of the fee; provided, however, that in no case shall the penalty be less than $10. Interest at the rate of 8% per annum will apply to any late payment.
