Within 45 days after vacation of a tenant or change of ownership in an existing business, all on-site
nonconforming signs must be removed or brought into compliance by the property owner. Nonconforming off-premise signs lacking advertising for a period of 45 days shall also be considered abandoned. If removal
does not occur voluntarily, Tooele County may remove the entire nonconforming sign, both face and structure and all costs incurred shall be the responsibility of the property owner. Once determined abandoned and nonconforming, such signs shall not regain any legal nonconforming status later, even if the original business re-occupies the property. (Ord. 2002-13, 6/18/02)
