A permit fee for each sign erected under this chapter shall be paid to the city as set forth in § 150.016. The determination of value or valuation under any of the provisions of this chapter shall be made by the Building Inspector of the city. When work for which a permit for a sign is required by this chapter and is started or proceeded with prior to obtaining said permit, the fee as set forth in § 150.016 shall be doubled but the payment of such doubled fee shall not relieve in any person from fully complying with the requirements of this chapter in the execution of the work nor from any other penalties prescribed herein. The doubling of the permit fee provided by this article shall also apply within the city’s enterprise zone. That is to say that while normally the fee is waived for signs within the enterprise zone, if a permit is not properly obtained the fee within the enterprise zone will be applied as if the property was not in the enterprise zone.
