Syllabus

Contrary to law sentence maximum fine housing violation conceded error. The city concedes error in the trial court's imposition of a fine for $13,000 for a minor misdemeanor housing violation. Statutorily, the maximum fine for a minor misdemeanor is $1,000. Because the fine exceeded the statutory maximum, the trial court's sentence is contrary to law and appellant's assignments of error are sustained.
