§ 10.6-51. Enforcement.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    Except as provided in subsection (b), violations of this division shall result in a citation being issued to the offender. The procedures contained in the Polk County Code Enforcement Citation Ordinance (Polk County Ordinance No. 92-32, as amended) shall be utilized for issuing and contesting citations. Citations may be issued either in person or by certified mail. A person issued a citation shall have thirty (30) days from the issuance of the citation to either pay the fine imposed pursuant to the citation or to request a hearing to contest citation. Failure to either pay the applicable fine or request a hearing within this time period shall constitute a waiver of the right to contest the citation and a judgment may be entered against the person for an amount up to five hundred dollars ($500.00). If a hearing is requested, the hearing will only address the citation but not the revocation of a special use permit or any prohibitions from entrance or use of an environmental land, nor the outcome of any proceedings related to those matters.

    (b)

    Nothing contained in this division shall be construed to prevent the use of any other enforcement method, preclude a person from being criminally charged under any other applicable law, or prevent the imposition of any other form of sanction in lieu of the enforcement methods and penalties imposed herein.
