               Violations of the provisions of this chapter or failure to comply with any of its
               requirements shall constitute a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $500.00
               or a maximum 30 days imprisonment as provided in G.S. 14-4.

               Any act constituting a violation of the provisions of this chapter or a failure to
               comply with any of its requirements shall also subject the offender to a civil penalty
               of $100.00 for each day the violation continues. If the offender fails to pay this
               penalty within ten days after being cited for a violation, the penalty may be recovered
               by the county in a civil action in the nature of debt. A civil penalty may not be
               appealed to the board of adjustment if the offender was sent a final notice of violation
               in accordance with section 2303 of the county unified development ordinance and did
               not take an appeal to the board of adjustment within the prescribed time.
