Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 02, November 27, 2024

(1) Signs a zoned areas which were lawfully in existence on the effective date of the Highway Beautification Act of 1972, but which do not conform to the requirements of the Highway Beautification Act of 1972 as to size, lighting, or spacing criteria shall be allowed to remain for the duration of its normal life. Only routine maintenance and the change of message can be performed on it. No major replacement of sign supports in the structure will be allowed. If for any reason the sign including structure, message, supports, and stringers is damaged to the extent of 50 percent or more of the current structural value as determined by an appraisal by ALDOT or its designated agent(s), then any repair or replacement of any part of the sign including message, supports, and stringers will be considered the erection of a new sign and consequently prohibited.

(2) Signs that were permitted before the effective date of this provision will be allowed to remain as a permitted sign in accordance with §§ 23-1-171 through 23-1-274, Code of Ala. 1975. All other aspects of this Chapter will apply to permitted signs.
