Any development in any flood hazard area that is being performed without an issued permit or that is in conflict with an issued permit shall be deemed a violation. A building or structure without the documentation of the elevation of the lowest floor, other required design certifications or other evidence of compliance required by this chapter or the Building Code is presumed to be a violation until such time as required documentation is submitted. Violation of the requirements shall constitute a misdemeanor.
