§ 20-52. Permit to alter, repair, rebuild, enlarge, extend, replace or relocate.

(a)

No sign shall be altered, rebuilt, enlarged, extended, replaced or relocated nor shall sign faces by renewed or neon tubing be rearranged when the value of such work exceeds twenty-five dollars ($25.00) except upon the issuance of a permit by the building inspector. All work done under such permit shall be in conformity with the requirements of this chapter. Signs which have been erected in conformance with this chapter and with the zoning ordinance and which have been damaged by windstorm or other natural causes may be repaired without first securing a permit.

(b)

The changing of movable parts of signs which are designed for changing or the repainting of display matter or the repairing of damaged neon tubing while a sign is in place shall not be deemed to be alterations for the purpose of this section. The changing of copy on any existing sign shall be deemed an alteration.

(c)

The fee for a permit under this section shall be the same as prescribed by section 20-51.
