Notwithstanding § 19.27.012, the county may enforce the prohibitions of § 19.27.012 by any civil remedy available under the law including, but not limited to, injunctive relief. Any judgment in favor of the county may include, at the discretion of the trial court, an award of costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and other appropriate damages. These damages may include the reasonable value of the expenses incurred by the county staff to enforce § 19.27.012, including all costs through judgment. Should the defendant prevail over the county in any enforcement action, this section does not authorize the award of costs or attorney’s fees, both of which shall not be awarded, unless otherwise authorized by law.
