The Village has all remedies and enforcement powers allowed by law, including the following:
(a) 
Withhold or revoke permits. Any permit, certificate or other form of authorization required under this zoning chapter may be withheld or revoked by the Community Development Director when the Community Development Director determines that there is departure from the plans, specifications, or conditions as required under terms of the permit.
(b) 
Permits approved with conditions. Instead of withholding or denying a permit or other authorization, the Community Development Director may grant such authorization subject to the condition that the violation be corrected.
(c) 
Municipal citations. The Village may issue municipal citations for violations of this zoning chapter, as set forth in § 1-16 of the Village Code.
(d) 
Other legal remedies. In addition to all other remedies and enforcement powers, the Village is authorized to use all remedies available under state law, including seeking injunctive relief and payment of damages.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
Nothing in this zoning chapter prohibits the continuation of previous enforcement actions undertaken by the Village pursuant to previous valid ordinances and laws.
[Ord. No. 19-2020, 6-8-2020]
The remedies and enforcement powers established in this zoning chapter are cumulative, and the Village may exercise them in any combination or order. Each day that a violation continues is considered a separate offense.

The occupant or owner of any building, structure, premises, or part thereof, and any architect, builder, contractor, or agent, or other person who commits, participates in, assists in, or maintains such violations may each be found guilty of a separate offense and be subject to penalties, remedies and enforcement actions.
