FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials of the City of St. Louis assume no fiscal impact.
Oversight assumes cities that have zoning codes, and enforcement of those codes, would be expected to have an increase in fine revenues from zoning code violations. The amount of increase in fine revenues on a statewide basis is indeterminable. Oversight will show the increase in fine revenues as a positive unknown to cities.
Oversight assumes no state fiscal impact.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
Currently, the penalties for zoning violations for municipalities in Jackson County are between $10 and $500 for each day of the violation for the first offense, between $250 and $1,000 for each day of the violation for the second and subsequent offenses, imprisonment for 10 days for each violation, or both the fine and imprisonment.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
This bill changes the jurisdiction for these penalty ranges to any city with more than 300,000 inhabitants.
The maximum fine all other municipalities can impose for violating a zoning ordinance or regulation is increased from $100 to $250 for each day of the violation for the first offense. The
bill also creates the penalty for the second and subsequent offenses at the same building or premises at between $100 and $500 for each day of the violation, imprisonment for 10 days for each day of the violation, or both the fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the court.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
