NAC410.260. Sign permit: Issuance or denial.

     1. If the site of the proposed sign conforms, a metal permit tag will be issued for the proposed sign and furnished to the applicant with a copy of the approved sign permit application. The applicant will be responsible for conspicuously attaching the metal permit tag to the specific sign structure for which it is issued so that it is visible from the roadway. In lieu of attaching the metal permit tag, the applicant may paint the assigned permit number on the sign at a location that is clearly visible from the roadway. If the sign is painted, the same color scheme utilized on the tag, which is yellow on black, must be followed. The yellow numerals must be painted on the solid black background measuring at least 6 inches by 12 inches. The yellow numerals must be at least 2 1/2 inches high and must be clearly legible.

     2. If painted permit numbers are used, they may be placed in either a horizontal or vertical configuration, whichever will provide the greatest visibility from the roadway.

     3. If the site of the proposed sign is determined to be nonconforming and a sign permit is denied, the applicant will be reimbursed with a state warrant in that amount attributable to the annual fee. The inspection fee will be retained to defray expenses incurred by the State.

     4. Approval of an application and issuance of a permit does not alleviate an applicant from complying with all applicable county or local regulations. Any violation of county or local regulations may result in cancellation of the permit.
