5-9-1. Purpose .

(1) The county commission finds that there is a need to recover costs incurred by enforcement officials and other County personnel who spend time inspecting and reinspecting properties throughout the County in an effort to ensure compliance with the Tooele County Code, zoning ordinance, or applicable state statutes.

(2) The county commission further finds that the assessment of costs is an appropriate method to recover expenses incurred for actual costs of abating violations, reinspection fees, filing fees, attorney fees, hearing officer fees, title searches, and any additional actual costs incurred by the County for each individual case. The assessment and collection of costs shall not preclude the imposition of any administrative or judicial civil penalties or fines for violations of the Tooele County Code, zoning ordinance, or applicable state statutes.
