§ 31-11. Revocation of licenses granted to regulated business under chapter 12.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    When Greene County determines:

    (1)

    A regulated business has failed to comply with this chapter; or

    (2)

    The annual registration form contains fraudulent information, a misrepresentation, an omission of a material fact, and/or a false and misleading statement; or

    (3)

    A regulated business has refused to allow the building official to make an entry and inspection that is lawful under this chapter;

    the county manager or his/her designee shall give written notice to the contact person listed on the annual registration form via personal service or via U.S. mail (both certified and regular mail). Said written notice will advise the regulated business that a hearing shall be conducted to determine whether the license granted under chapter 12 shall be revoked. The notice shall state the time and place at which the hearing is to be held, which shall be no later than 30 days from the date of service of the written notice, unless continued by agreement. The hearing shall take place during a regular or special meeting of the Greene County Board of Commissioners. The notice shall contain a brief statement of the reason or reasons for the proposed revocation and a copy of the applicable provisions of this chapter.

    (b)

    At the hearing, the regulated business shall have the right to be represented by counsel, the right to present documentary evidence and/or witness testimony and the right to cross-examine any adverse witness. After the conclusion of the hearing, a written decision will be rendered by the board of commissioners.

    (c)

    In the event that a failure to comply with this chapter is the sole reason for the proposed revocation stated in the written notice, the regulated business can avoid revocation if the building official confirms that each of the deficiencies outlined in the notice has been remedied prior to the hearing date appearing in the written notice. In order to utilize this safe harbor provision, the regulated business will have to submit a written request for inspection.
