Sign Permit
The renewal requirement and citation are confirmed directly against the city's own page. The fee itself is read from the Office of Construction Code Enforcement's 2022 Fee Schedule — the document develop901.com's own current 'Fee Information' page links, under its Construction Enforcement section, as the approved fee schedule — rather than from a newer document, since none more recent is linked from the city/county's own current site.
