1.16.120 Monetary Penalties – Restitution.
Each day or portion thereof during which a violation occurs or exists shall be deemed a separate civil infraction.
A. A person found to have committed a civil infraction shall be assessed a monetary penalty.
1. The maximum penalty and the default amount for a Class 1 civil infraction shall be $600.00, not including statutory assessments;
2. The maximum penalty and the default amount for a Class 2 civil infraction shall be $300.00, not including statutory assessments;
3. The maximum penalty and the default amount for a Class 3 civil infraction shall be $120.00, not including statutory assessments; and
4. The maximum penalty and the default amount for a Class 4 civil infraction shall be $60.00, not including statutory assessments.
B. The court may consider dismissing with costs only upon a showing that the violation was corrected within 30 days.
C. Whenever a monetary penalty is imposed by a court under this Chapter it is immediately payable. If the person is unable to pay at that time, the court may grant an extension. If the penalty is not paid on or before the time established for payment, the court may proceed to collect the penalty in the same manner as other civil judgments and may notify the Prosecuting Attorney of the failure to pay.
D. Payment of a monetary penalty or performance of the required community service shall not relieve a person of the duty to correct the violation.
