. d. Page 17 PERMIT ISSUANCE OR DENIAL. The Building and Zoning Administrator shall issue a permit and permit sticker for the erection, alteration, or relocation of a sign within fourteen (14) days of receipt of a completed application and applicable fees, provided that the sign complies with all applicable laws and regulations of the City. In all applications, where a matter of interpretation arises, the more specific definition or higher standard shall prevail. When a permit is denied by the Building and Zoning Administrator, written notice shall be provided to the applicant along with a brief statement of the reasons for denial. The Building and Zoning Administrator may suspend or revoke an issued permit for any false statement or misrepresentation of fact in the application. e. PERMIT CONDITIONS, REFUNDS, AND PENALTIES. . . (i) If a permit is denied, the permit fee shall be refunded to the applicant. (ii) (iii) (iv) If no inspections have been made and no work authorized by the permit has been performed, fifty percent (50%) of the permit fee may be refunded to the applicant upon request, provided that the permit and permit sticker are returned to the Building and Zoning Administrator within ninety (90) days of issuance. A permit issued by the Building and Zoning Administrator becomes null and void if work is not completed within one hundred and eighty (180) days of issuance. If work authorized by the permit is suspended or abandoned for one hundred and eighty (180) days, the permit is thereby suspended, but may be reinstated with an additional payment of one-half of the original fee. If any sign is installed or placed on any property prior to receipt of a permit, the specified permit fee shall be doubled. However, payment of the doubled fee shall not relieve any person of any other requirement or penalties prescribed in this Section.
