§ 50-432. Permits.

(a)

No sign, except those listed that do not require a permit, may be erected, hung or placed or structurally altered without a permit from the building inspector. The building inspector shall only issue a permit for the erection or construction of the sign which meets the requirements of this section of the zoning ordinance.

(b)

Application for permits to erect, hang or place a sign shall be submitted on a form obtainable from the building inspector. Each application shall be accompanied by the plans showing the area of the sign, size and character and method of illumination, if any, the exact location proposed for such sign, and, in the case of a projecting sign, the proposed method of fastening such sign to the building structure, the vertical distance between such sign and the finished grade, and the horizontal distance between such sign and the right-of-way line. The building inspector shall charge a fee for each permit as set by the county commission.

(c)

The erection or painting of all signs requiring permits under this article shall be done by and permitted to a general contractor or sign contractor licensed with the county, except that property owners or their lessees may erect or paint nonilluminated signs of up to 32 square feet attached to an approved existing structure or building.
