On or before May 1 of each calendar year, the owner of any oversized sign shall register such sign with the director of the county department of planning and development on a form (or via electronic means) substantially similar to that attached to Ordinance No. SO-2011-1 as Exhibit "A."

For all oversized signs which were constructed more than ten years prior to the submittal of the annual registration, at least once every three years the owner of such sign shall submit certification to the director that such sign was inspected by an employee or authorized agent of the owner whose responsibilities and job duties include the inspection and maintenance of signs for such sign owner that no signs of defect, disrepair, or other hazardous condition exist.

(c)

Any sign owner which owns more than 20 oversized signs subject to subsection (b) of this section shall be deemed to be in compliance with its requirements so long as all of such sign owner's oversized signs which are more than ten years old are inspected within three years of the first deadline for registration under this section.

(d)

The annual registration fee for each oversized sign shall be $100.00 per sign per year for the first registration and $50.00 per sign per year for each subsequent year.
