§ 10.5-203. Citation procedure.

Both the fire services division and the sheriff's office may issue citations for violations of this division. The procedures to be utilized for issuing and contesting citations shall be the procedures contained in the Polk County Code Enforcement Citation Ordinance. Citations may be issued to the alarm user in person or by certified mail. Notwithstanding subsection 10.5-202(d), an alarm user shall have thirty (30) days from the issuance of a citation to either pay the fine imposed pursuant to the citation or to request a hearing to contest the citation. Failure to either pay the applicable fine or request a hearing within this time period shall constitute a waiver of the alarm user's right to contest the citation and a judgment may be entered against the alarm user.
