(A) The requirements under §§ 152.02 through 152.05 of street naming shall be applicable to all new roads in the county, including new roads within new subdivisions. Any owner or developer desiring to name new streets shall file a list of street names with the County Mapping Department. If after 14 days there has been no discovery of a conflict, then the proposed new street names shall be allowed. If there is a conflict determined, the land developer shall select a different name, thereby eliminating any conflict.
(B) Public and private roads within the jurisdiction of an independent highway district within the county shall be named and signed by those jurisdictions in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter, as soon as those jurisdictions can properly budget for the purchase of and installation of such signing.
(1) Each highway district shall have the separate ability to pass ordinances and make policies that require developers or land owners to name and sign their roads and pay for sign costs and installation costs, as well as any publication and hearing costs contemplated by this section.
(2) Persons owning public or private roads within the jurisdiction of the county desiring to change the name of their roads shall be obligated to pay for any hearing or publication costs contemplated by this subchapter. If those roads are private, such owners shall be responsible for the costs of and installation of appropriate signing hereunder required.
(3) The county shall pay only for sign costs and installation costs of any new publicly maintained road signs within the county, or older, but yet unnamed, publicly maintained roads within the county.
