Unless otherwise specified in a title, chapter or section of the municipal code, including the codes and ordinances adopted by reference, whenever in this code or in any ordinance of the town an act is prohibited or is made or declared to be unlawful, or a civil offense or a misdemeanor, or whenever in such code or ordinance the doing of any act is required, or the failure to do any act is declared to be unlawful or a civil offense, where no specific penalty is provided for, the violation of any such provision of this code or any such ordinance shall be punished, upon conviction, by a civil penalty of not more than fifty dollars ($50.00) and costs. Each day any violation of this code or of any ordinance shall continue shall constitute a separate offence. Provided, however, that the imposition of a civil penalty under the provisions of this code shall not prevent the revocation of any permit or license or the taking of other punitive or remedial action where authorized by or under the provisions of the Mountain City Municipal Code or other applicable law. In any place in this municipal code the phrase "it shall be a misdemeanor" or "it shall be an offense," or "it shall be unlawful," or similar terms appear in the context of a penalty provision of this municipal code or any ordinance, it shall mean "it shall be a civil offense." Anytime the word "fine," or similar term appears in the context of a penalty provision of this municipal code or any ordinance, it shall mean "a civil penalty." (Ord. #1348, Sept. 2013)
