§ 23-10-12 — Revocation or suspension of license - Penalty for operating without license

1. The department may deny an application or take disciplinary action, up to and
including suspension or revocation of a license for a mobile home park, recreational
vehicle park, or campground, against any applicant or licensee upon the failure of the
applicant or licensee to comply with this chapter or with any of the rules and
regulations promulgated by the department.
2. Before the department takes disciplinary action against a license, the department shall
notify the licensee in writing of the reason disciplinary action is being considered and
shall provide thirty days for correction to be made. If the licensee demonstrates a
good-faith effort to comply, the department may grant additional time before further

enforcement action is taken. Action taken under the authority granted in this section
must comply with chapter 28-32. Any person who maintains or operates a mobile
home park, recreational vehicle park, or campground without first obtaining a license,
or who operates the same during suspension of the license, is guilty of an infraction.
3. The department may assess a civil penalty of one hundred dollars per day against a
person who maintains or operates a mobile home park, recreational vehicle park, or
campground without first obtaining a license. The civil penalty may not exceed
ten thousand dollars. The proceeds of the civil penalty must be transferred to the
department's general operating fund.
