Criteria utilized in determining amount of fee:

Number of offenses

Agreement to mitigate violation
Punitive effect of fee

1st Offense ($100.00) - The property owner must respond to the violation notice within 14 days and agree to correct violation, i.e. replant trees or remove structure.

2nd Offense ($500.00) - This applies if there is no response within 30 days for the same violation, or if violator is uncooperative as to remedial action.

3rd Offense ($1,000 a day) - If there is no response after 30 days to the original violation, then punitive action will be the only recourse to correct violation.
