(A) Any violation of § 51.12, or any violation beyond the time limit provided for, shall be a municipal civil infraction, for which the fine shall not be less than $100 nor more than $500 for the first offense and not less than $200 nor more than $2,500 for subsequent offenses, in the discretion of the court, and in addition to all other costs, damages, and expenses provided by law.
(B) For purposes of this section, SUBSEQUENT OFFENSE means a violation of the chapter committed by the same person within 12 months of a previous violation of the chapter for which said person admitted responsibility or was adjudicated to be responsible, provided, however, that offenses committed on subsequent days within a period of one week following issuance of a citation for a first offense shall all be considered separate first offenses.
(C) Each day that such violation occurs shall constitute a separate offense. Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, in addition, become liable for any expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, loss, or damage occasioned by reason of such violation. The Supervisor or his or her designated official, with Board approval, is hereby authorized to issue citations for municipal civil infractions for violation of the chapter.
