Temporary sign permits

No temporary sign, as described in section 806, shall be erected, installed or maintained without first obtaining a permit thereof. Any such permit may be issued for a period not to exceed six (6) months, and shall provide that any sign authorized by such permit shall be removed at the expiration of said six-month period, or within ten (10) days after the completion of the activity advertised, whichever shall be sooner. No permit for a temporary sign may be extended or renewed, and any temporary sign which remains in place for more than six (6) months shall be deemed a permanent sign, and shall be so regulated, unless otherwise specified herein.

The applicant shall deposit with the building official a cash deposit of fifty dollars ($50.00) per sign to insure removal of such sign at the expiration of the permit, which shall be returned to the applicant upon the removal by him of such sign. If the applicant shall fail to remove such sign, the building official after ten (10) days written notice to the applicant to remove such sign, and after the failure of the applicant to do so, shall cause said sign to be removed and the cash deposit shall be forfeited to help defray the cost of the removal.
