Removing signs that are immediate safety hazards
Read the official text at library.municode.com ↗If a sign is an immediate danger to the public, the county can remove it right away without warning. After removal, the property owner or tenant gets a bill and must pay within 30 days to get the sign back. Paying the bill does not stop other legal action.
