In the event of a bonafide emergency, as determined at the discretion of the town, a person may perform work for which a permit is otherwise required by this chapter, without first making application for such permit. However, the person performing the work shall apply for a permit for the work performed, and post any required bonds, within 48 hours of performing the work. All other provisions of this chapter shall nevertheless apply to work performed on such an emergency basis. In the event that the town determines that a bonafide emergency did not exist, then in addition to any other penalty provided herein, a $50 penalty for failure to obtain a permit may be assessed.
