Except as exempted by Section 87.502, no person shall do any clearing, nor shall an owner allow any clearing on his or her property or allow the property to remain in an unlawfully cleared condition, unless the person or owner has a valid clearing permit issued by the County Official authorizing such clearing. An owner is presumed to have allowed clearing which has been done on property occupied by him or her or is under his dominion and control. This presumption is a presumption affecting the burden of producing evidence. A separate clearing permit shall be required for each site. All clearing shall conform to the conditions of the authorizing permit.
