Citation procedure
Operative Text
Any person issued a citation pursuant to this article shall be entitled to a hearing to contest the citation pursuant to the provisions of G.S. § 7-152c. The request for a hearing shall be made to the town manager. If any person so cited chooses not to timely request a hearing, he shall be deemed to have admitted liability.

Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 14, art. IV § 14-180 establishes a formal process for contesting citations issued under this article. A person who receives a citation has the right to request a hearing before a neutral hearing officer — someone who is not a police officer, town employee, or citation-issuing authority — appointed by the town manager. If the cited person does not request a hearing within the required timeframe, they are treated as having admitted liability by default.

Under Enfield Code of Ordinances ch. 14, art. IV § 14-180, property owners or managers who receive a citation under this article should be aware that a formal hearing process exists to contest it. Compliant operators generally track any deadlines tied to citation notices and understand that failing to act within those deadlines results in an automatic admission of liability. The hearing request is directed to the town manager, who then appoints an independent hearing officer to preside.
