It shall be unlawful to erect, re-erect, construct, alter, or install any sign except as provided by this chapter and pursuant to a required permit for the same issued by the Building Official. Except as hereinafter provided, a permit shall be required for each sign. In addition, electrical permits shall be obtained for lighted or illuminated signs. A permit for alteration of a sign which involves only a change in copy, content, or color and which does not involve any change in any part of the structure or lighting of the sign itself shall not be denied on the basis that the sign is otherwise nonconforming, if such sign was erected in accordance with applicable city ordinances in force at the time.
