               of this article shall constitute a class 3 misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to
               exceed $500.00.

               Pursuant to G.S. 153A-123(c), a violation of any of the provisions of this article
               shall subject the offender to a civil penalty of $50.00. If a person fails to pay
               this civil penalty within ten days after being cited for a violation, the county may
               seek to recover the penalty by filing a civil action in the nature of debt. Each day
               that a violation continues after the offender has been notified of the violation shall
               constitute a separate violation.
