Failure to secure a building permit or Zoning Hearing Board certificate when required previous to the erection, construction, extension or addition to a building shall be a violation of this chapter.

When written notice of a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter has been served by the Building Code Official or Zoning Officer, when appointed, on the owner, agent or occupant, contractor or builder, such violation shall be discontinued immediately.

Any person, partnership or corporation who or which has violated or permitted the violation of the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by the Township, pay a judgment of not more than $500, plus all courts costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the Township as a result thereof. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied or payable until the date of the determination of a violation by the district justice. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the Township may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable rules of civil procedure. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation, unless the district justice determining that there has been a violation further determines that there was a good faith basis for the person, partnership or corporation violating the ordinance to have believed that there was no such violation, in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation until the fifth day following the date of the determination of a violation by the district justice, and thereafter each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. All judgments, costs and reasonable attorney fees collected for the violation of zoning ordinances shall be paid over to the Township

The Board of Supervisors shall adopt by resolution a fee schedule setting forth the charges for applications for special exceptions, appeals to the Zoning Hearing Board, etc.[1] Said charges shall be paid to the Township for the use of the Township.
