(A) Denial of permits, licenses or other entitlements; written notice. Except as otherwise provided by law, no board, commission, officer or employee of the county shall issue or grant approval of any permits, licenses or other entitlements regarding any real property with respect to which there exists a violation of a county ordinance. The authority to deny the permit, license or other entitlement shall apply whether the applicant therefor was the owner of record at the time of violation or whether the applicant therefor is either the current owner of record or a vendee of the current owner of record pursuant to a contract of sale of the real property with or without actual or constructive knowledge of the violation at the time of the acquisition of his or her interest in the real property. Written notice of the refusal to issue or grant approval of any permit, license or other entitlement shall be mailed to the applicant and shall describe the violation and the action necessary to abate the violation.
(B) Appeal. Any applicant aggrieved by a decision of a county board, commission, officer or employee to refuse to issue or grant approval of any permits, licenses or other entitlements pursuant to this section may appeal the decision to the Board of Supervisors in accordance with the procedures set forth in § 1.03.008 below.
