Any development that is not within the scope of the Florida
Building Code but that is regulated by this chapter that is performed
without an issued permit, that is in conflict with an issued permit,
or that does not fully comply with this chapter, shall be deemed a
violation of this chapter. A building or structure without the documentation
of elevation of the lowest floor, other required design certifications,
or other evidence of compliance required by this chapter or the Florida
Building Code is presumed to be a violation until such time as that
documentation is provided.
For development that is not within the scope of the Florida
Building Code but that is regulated by this chapter and that is determined
to be a violation, the Floodplain Administrator is authorized to serve
notices of violation or stop-work orders to owners of the property
involved, to the owner's agent, or to the person or persons performing
the work.
Any person who shall continue any work after having been served
with a notice of violation or a stop-work order, except such work
as that person is directed to perform to remove or remedy a violation
or unsafe condition, shall be subject to penalties as prescribed by
law.
