TENANT/LANDLORD RESPONSIBLITY FOR CODE VIOLATIONS
From:
Subject:
This memorandum is in response to concerns raised at the March 20, 2002, commission
meeting regarding the amendment to Section 82-412, titled "Posting of Signs on Utility
Company Property or Public Property Prohibited" and the benefactor's responsibilities as it
relates to illegal sign violations.
On July 18, 2001, the City Commission adopted an amendment to Section 82-412, in order
to clarify the City Code that owners and/or benefactors of prohibited signs be deemed
violators under the above-mentioned section and subject to established enforcement
procedures. This amendment placed the responsibility on the individual directly benefiting
from the sign. An example of this would be a promoter that places or posts illegal signs on
public or utility property. The promoter not the property owner would be held responsible
for the illegal signs.
Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact
my office.
