A sign shall be removed by the owner or lessee of the premises upon which the sign is located when the business which the sign advertises is no longer conducted on the premises. If the owner or lessee fails to remove the sign, the zoning administrator shall notify the owner or lessee in writing, and allow fifteen days for removal. Upon failure of the owner or lessee to comply with the notice, the zoning administrator may remove the sign, at cost to the owner or lessee.
