Penalty: Penalties for transferring lots in unapproved subdivisions, as proposed in G.S. 160A-375 shall prevail.

"Any person who, being the owner or agent of the owner of any land located within the platting jurisdiction granted to the municipality by section 160-226 thereafter transfers; or sells such land by reference to a plat showing a subdivision of such land before such plat has been approved by said legislative body and recorded in the office of the appropriate register of deeds, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and the description of metes and bounds in the instrument of transfer or other document used in the process of selling or transferring shall not exempt the transaction from such penalties. Said municipality, through its city attorney or other official designated by its local legislative body, may enjoin such transfer or sale by action for injunction."
