1. Issue Notice. Before or after bringing an action to the court of jurisdiction, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall mail a notice letter to the violator, the property address, or to the tax record address if mail is undeliverable to the property (e.g., a vacant site) describing the violation or alleged violation.

2. Investigation. Before or after bringing an action to the court of jurisdiction, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall make reasonable attempt to investigate an alleged violation to determine if there is a violation.

3. Request for Injunction. The Board of Zoning Appeals may bring an action to a court of jurisdiction to request a mandatory injunction to remove a structure in violation of the Unified Development Code.

4. Violation. If a structure is found in violation, the violator shall be subject to a mandatory injunction to remove the structure and all costs associated with the action. The court-imposed remedy may instead result in a unique court ruling that fulfills the intent of the Jasper County Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code. The severity of the court ruling may consider the severity of the violation, impact to property values in the area, impact to quality of life in the area, impact to the health, safety and welfare of the public, repetitiveness of similar violations by the same violator, and/or the precedent that may be set by the ruling. If successful in the enforcement of the Unified Development Code, the court of jurisdiction may award Jasper County recuperation of its legal fees and administrative costs. [Ord. 12-27-11 § 10.15.]
