CIVIL PENALTIES: 
 
A. Any owner, occupant or responsible party who is found responsible for a civil violation of this 
Ordinance, whether by admission, default, or after a hearing, shall pay a civil sanction of not less 
than $150 or more than $1,500, per citation. A second finding of responsibility within 24 months of 
the commission of a prior violation of this Ordinance shall result in a civil sanction of not less than

$250 or more than $2,500. A third finding of responsibility within 36 months of the commission of 
a prior violation of this Ordinance shall result in a civil sanction of not less than $500 or more than 
$2,500. In addition to the civil sanction, the responsible party shall pay the applicable fees and 
charges set forth in the City’s Development and Sustainability Department (Code Compliance) 
Schedule of Fees and Charges, and may be ordered to pay any other applicable fees and charges. 
 
B. The 36 month provision described above of this Section shall be calculated by the dates the 
violations were committed. The owner, occupant, or responsible party shall receive the enhanced 
sanction upon a finding of responsibility for any violation of this Chapter that was committed within 
36 months of the commission of another violation for which the owner or responsible party was 
convicted or was otherwise found responsible, irrespective of the order in which the violations 
occurred or whether the prior violation was civil or criminal.  
 
C. Each day in which a violation of this Ordinance continues, or the failure to perform any act or duty 
required by this Ordinance or by the Civil Hearing Officer continues, shall constitute a separate civil 
offense. 
 
HABITUAL OFFENDER: 
 
A. A person who commits a violation of this Ordinance after previously having been found responsible 
for committing three (3) or more civil violations of this Ordinance within a twenty-four (24) month 
period – whether by admission, by payment of the fine, by default, or by judgment after hearing – 
shall be guilty of a class 1 criminal misdemeanor.  The Mesa City Prosecutor is authorized to file a 
class 1 criminal misdemeanor complaint in the Mesa City Court against habitual offenders.  For 
purposes of calculating the twenty-four (24) month period under this Subsection, the dates of the 
commission of the offenses are the determining factor. 
 
B. Upon conviction of a violation of this Section, the Court may impose a sentence of incarceration not 
to exceed six (6) months in jail; or a fine not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00), 
exclusive of penalty assessments prescribed by law; or both such fine and imprisonment.  The Court 
shall order a person who has been convicted of a violation of this Section to pay a fine of not less 
than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each count upon which a conviction has been obtained.  A 
judge shall not grant probation to or suspend any part or all of the imposition or execution of a 
sentence required by this Subsection except on the condition that the person pay the mandatory 
minimum fines as provided in this paragraph. 
 
C. Every action or proceeding under this Section shall be commenced and prosecuted in accordance 
with the laws of the State of Arizona relating to criminal misdemeanors and the Arizona Rules of 
Criminal Procedure.
