A. Removal of Obsolete Signs: Any sign or other advertising structure, which advertises a business no longer being conducted, or a product no longer being sold, is deemed abandoned, and shall be taken down and removed by the permittee. Removal shall be made within fourteen (14) days after written notification from the Zoning Administrator.
B. Expired Permits: Within not more than five (5) days after the expiration of any permit issued hereunder, the permittee shall cause the sign to be removed. This is the joint and several obligation of the zoning lot owner and permittee. At the expiration of the five (5) day period, any such sign which has not been removed is hereby declared to be a common nuisance.
C. Prohibited Signs: Signs which are identified as being prohibited by this Chapter shall be removed by its owner immediately upon written notice by the Zoning Administrator.

If the permittee and/or owner fails to make corrections or fails to remove or alter the sign within fourteen (14) days after said notice, the sign may be removed by the Zoning Administrator at the expense of the permittee and/or owner of the property upon which it is located. However, the Zoning Administrator may cause any sign which is an immediate peril to persons or property, to be removed summarily with or without prior notice, at the owner's expense. Notice will then be sent out within three (3) days after its removal.
