Enforcement
Issuing a Violation Notice
If a building permit is not obtained, a violation notice and order of compliance is issued which orders the violator to come into compliance.
Filing a Suit in Court
In cases which cannot be resolved at the administrative level, an ordinance violation suit may be filed in the Circuit Court by the Civil Division of the State's Attorney. Fines and compliance are usually sought as part of this third method of enforcement.
