7-309 : Posting of address.

  1. All owners and occupants of improved real property lying within the city are required to post the address of such real property owned or occupied by them with the street address assigned to such property by the city, in such manner that said address is clearly visible and legible from the street on which the improvement on such property fronts. Address identification characters shall contrast with their background. Address numbers shall be Arabic numbers or alphabetical letters. Numbers shall not be spelled out. Each character shall be not less than four inches (4") (102 mm) high with a minimum stroke width of one half inch (1/2") (12.7 mm). The obligation hereby imposed shall be the joint duty of all owners and occupants of improved real property lying within the city who are over eighteen (18) years of age. Where access is by means of a private road and the building cannot be viewed from the public way, a monument, pole, or other sign or means shall be used to identify the structure. Address identification shall be maintained.
  2. All owners of apartment complexes lying within the city are required to post the building identifier for each apartment building within the complex, whether the identifier is a number or letter or a combination thereof, in such manner that said building identifier is clearly visible and legible from the street or private drive on which each building fronts. The identifier for each building within apartment complexes lying within the city will be a minimum of one foot (1') in height, will contrast with the building itself so as to be highly visible, will be reflective so as to be seen easily in darkness and will not be obstructed at any time by natural or man-made objects. All owners of apartment complexes lying within the city will have a grace period of twelve (12) months from the effective date of the ordinance from which this subsection is derived to come into compliance.
  3. All persons who violate this section shall be subject to a fine of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for the first offense, fifty dollars ($50.00) for the second offense, and one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each subsequent offense thereafter. If the person does not remedy the violation, every thirty (30) days shall be deemed a separate offense. (Ord. #2020-18, June 2021, modified)
