(1) [ Editor's note: This version of subsection (1) is effective March 1, 2022. ] Any person who violates any county ordinance adopted pursuant to this part 4 commits a civil infraction or, in the case of traffic offenses, commits a traffic infraction, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars for each separate violation.

Such graduated fine schedule may provide for increased penalty assessments for repeat offenses by the same individual. In the case of county traffic ordinance violations, the provisions of sections 42-4-1701 and 42-4-1703, and sections 42-4-1708 to 42-4-1718, shall apply; except that the fine or penalty for a violation charged and the surcharge thereon if authorized by county ordinance shall be paid to the county.
