County Code - Sec 22

ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL

Sec. 22-7. Enforcement and abatement.
(a) Whenever the county administrator determines or has reasonable cause to believe that any provision of this chapter is being violated or is about to be violated by any person, the county administrator shall notify such person of such violation. Failure of the county administrator to provide notice to the user shall not in any way relieve the user from any consequences of a wrongful or illegal act. The notice shall state:

(1) The nature of the actual or threatened violation.

(2) The time within which appropriate measures must be taken to prevent any threatened violation or the reoccurrence of any actual violation and to furnish evidence that such corrective action has been taken. The county administrator shall also notify the Health Department should the violation fall within its jurisdiction.

(b) In the event such person fails to furnish satisfactory evidence to the county administrator that corrective action has been taken within the time prescribed by the notice, the county administrator shall take such steps as may be required in order to abate the violation.

(c) Any person violating any provision of this chapter shall be responsible to the county for any expense, loss, or damage to the county by reason of such violation.
