A. The building inspector shall inspect annually or at such other times as he deems necessary, each sign or other advertising structure regulated by this chapter for the purpose of ascertaining whether the same is secure or insecure and whether it is in need of removal or repair.
B. To meet the expense of such inspection the permittee thereof shall pay to the building inspector the sum of two cents multiplied by the number of square feet of area for each unit so inspected; provided, that in no event shall the inspection fee be less than one dollar. No inspection fee other than the permit fee shall be charged during the calendar year in which the sign or other advertising structure is erected. (Prior code § 21-1-9)
