(A) Following the moratorium on road name changes, any owner living in the unincorporated areas of the county wishing a change of road name may file a petition with the Board of Commissioners requesting a change in name. The petition must be signed by owners of 80% of the parcels on the road whose name is proposed to be changed. The petition may not be filed until the Clerk, or his or her duly authorized agent, confirms the availability of the proposed name, but, not later than 90 days following the confirmation. Documentation such as a tax bill or deed, showing the ownership of each signatory to the petition must accompany the petition at the time of filing. A non-refundable deposit in the amount of $250 shall accompany the petition. The Board of Commissioners reserves the right to approve or reject the petition for a road name change. Upon approval of the name change, the petitioner shall be obligated to pay the county for the actual costs incurred by the name change. Following approval, the Clerk shall process the road name change and advise the United States Postal Service of the road or street name change.
(B) In the event this chapter is adopted by any of the incorporated cities and towns in the county, the petition for a road or street name change shall be filed with and approved by the executive having jurisdiction over the road or street in question.
