   (d)   Upon receipt of a completed application, the Administrator shall examine all required plans and specifications as well as the premises upon which the sign is to be placed. If the proposed sign is in compliance with all the requirements of this chapter and all other ordinances of the municipality, the sign permit shall be issued. If the work authorized under the sign permit has not been completed within one year after date of issuance, the permit shall become null and void.

   (e)   The Administrator may revoke any sign permit for noncompliance with any provisions of this chapter or misrepresentation of fact on the permit application.

   (f)   Issuance of a sign permit does not constitute a building permit. When required by the Building Code, a building permit shall be obtained prior to the erection, display, relocation, or alteration of any sign.
