Unless otherwise specified in this chapter, any person who violates any provision of this chapter may receive a civil penalty of $50 per violation per day for so long as the violation exists. Each day on which a violation occurs or continues shall constitute a separate and distinct violation. The Assistant Town Manager or his/her designee shall notify either by telephone or letter the person, firm, or corporation in violation, describing the offense, the section violated, the corrective action necessary, and a reasonable time period for compliance. If the violation is not corrected within the required time, the Assistant Town Manager or his/her designee shall have the authority to issue a civil citation imposing the civil penalty of $50 for each separate offense. If corrective action is not taken or the penalty is not paid within 10 days, the Town Manager shall forward the matter to the Town Attorney for further legal action as allowed by this chapter and state law.
