§ 15.20. Fees.

a.

Permits. Every applicant, before being granted a permit under this chapter, shall pay a fee for each sign as set forth by the city commission. If any sign is erected prior to receiving a permit for the same, the fee for such sign shall be double that indicated in the schedule.

b.

Inspections. On a periodic basis the city manager or his designee shall inspect each sign or other advertising structure regulated by this chapter for the purpose of ascertaining whether the same is secure or insecure and whether it is in need of removal, repair, or painting. The permit shall remain valid for as long as the sign remains in compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance. When a sign is found to be in violation, the city manager or his designee shall then request the owner of the sign to take action to bring the sign into compliance with the provisions of this ordinance or to remove the same within a period of two weeks.
