The description of such lot or parcel by metes and bounds in any contract or instrument of transfer or other document used in the process of selling or transferring same shall not exempt such owner or agent from the penalties provided herein.

Further review and action of such incomplete documents shall occur only upon resubmittal of those materials, including payment of any associated application fee.
