(A) Penalty. Whosoever violates or fails to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of an offense and fined not less than $100 nor more than $750. This or any other penalty shall be assessed in addition to any charges for abatement or any lien recorded against the property to recover the cost of abatement. A separate offense shall be deemed committed for each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues. Except when fines and costs are paid by compromise payment as provided in division (B) below prior to court, the Circuit Clerk shall add to the fine any and all costs and fees upon an authorized disposition.
(B) Compromise payment. In the event the Peotone Police, the Village Code Enforcement Officer or other designee of the village elects to charge any individual under a compromise citation as set forth hereinafter, any such person accused of a violation of this chapter and originally charged under this section may settle and compromise the claim without a court appearance by payment of one-half of the minimum required fine to the Village Clerk of the Village Hall within ten business days of the date of the violation if the compromise box designation is so checked on the Complaint and Notice to Appear form.
