In Randolph County, the county commission may enact a noise ordinance for the areas outside of the corporate limits of a municipality and outside the boundaries of any industrial park designated by the county pursuant to Sections 11–23–1 to 11–23–8, inclusive, and may provide that a violation of the ordinance constitutes a public nuisance subject to a civil fine of not more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) to be assessed as provided in the ordinance. Any law enforcement officer or constable may issue a citation alleging a violation of the ordinance. The ordinance may provide that the person charged with a violation may pay a civil fine or request, within 30 days of receipt of the citation, a due process hearing before the county commission or its hearing officer on the validity of the citation. An order of the county commission finding a violation and an assessment of a civil fine shall be final within 30 days thereof unless appealed to the Circuit Court in Randolph County based on the administrative record of the hearing. Any fine due and owing shall be considered a debt owed to the Randolph County Commission and shall be enforceable by civil action in the same manner as any other debt. The person owing the fine shall be liable for all costs, including court costs and attorney fees, and all other expenses of litigation if action is taken to collect the fine owed.
