California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Djekich, 229 Cal.App.3d 1213, 280 Cal.Rptr. 824 (Cal. App. 1991):
Alternatively, some jurisdictions obtain enforcement through civil contempt penalties accumulated on a daily basis for violating a court order enjoining a nonconforming use under a zoning ordinance. (See, e.g., Woodruff v. Township of Lower Southampton (Pa.Cmwlth.1982) 68 Pa.Cmwlth. 171, 448 A.2d 692, 693-694.)
