IX Penalties
As provided in RSA 676:15 to 17, as amended, the Town of Holderness may obtain an injunction, mandamus, abatement, or any other appropriate action or proceeding to prevent, enjoin, abate, or remove any erection, construction, alteration, or reconstruction which is not in compliance with this regulation. Any violation of this regulation may be punishable, as determined by the Holderness Board of Selectmen by either:
a. a civil fine of not more than $100.00 per day for each such violation that is found by a court to continue after the conviction date or after the date on which the violator received notice from the municipality that he or she is in violation of this regulation, whichever is earlier, or
b. a criminal penalty which shall be a misdemeanor if the violation is committed by a natural person, or a felony if committed by any other person. In any legal action brought to enforce these regulations, the prevailing party may recover its costs in pursuing or defending itself in such legal action.
