Unofficial compilation built from the City's published 2010 Code chapters and the text of adopted ordinances. Effective dates are inferred from adoption records; scanned chapters were OCR'd. The City of Tiffin's adopted Code of Ordinances governs. Not legal advice.

122.20 VIOLATIONS; PENALTIES

Any violation of this chapter may be prosecuted as a municipal infraction for each day the violation continues. This provision does not prohibit the use of a simple misdemeanor violation, but it creates an additional remedy. The City retains sole discretion to decide which remedy to pursue. The City may not pursue both remedies for a single violation. Penalties and relief for a judgment of a municipal infraction are those set forth in the relevant provisions of the Code of Iowa.

Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
