Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Permit,
				  rental, service, and transfer fees shall be established by the Department and
				  shall not be less than 25% above the estimated cost of placement and
				  maintenance of the motorist informational signs (LOGO signs). The permit and
				  rental fees shall be charged to the Owner or Responsible Operator of a
				  Qualified Motorist Service Business per sign per direction of travel every
				  year. The service fee shall be charged to the Owner or Responsible Operator
				  when the Department changes, covers, uncovers, removes, reinstalls, or replaces
				  a Business Sign. The transfer fee shall be charged when the Qualified Motorist
				  Service Business changes owners.
(b) Permit, rental, service, and transfer
				  fees shall be revised and adjusted annually to not less than 25% above the
				  estimated cost of placement and maintenance by the Department. The Department
				  shall establish a schedule setting forth these fees. A copy of the current
				  schedule of fees shall be attached to each application for an initial Business
				  Sign permit, and to each annual billing for the renewal of a Business Sign
				  permit.
(c) Permit fee. The
				  Department shall charge an annual permit fee of $100.00 for affixing a Business
				  Sign to a Motorist Services Informational Panel in each direction of travel.
				  Renewal applications with the permit fee shall be submitted not later than 30
				  days prior to the expiration of the current permit.
(d) The Department shall charge an annual
				  rental fee of $250.00 for affixing a Business Sign to a Motorist Services
				  Informational Panel in each direction of travel. The fee shall be the same
				  amount whether the Business Sign is placed on either Specific Informational
				  Panel or a Supplemental Directional Sign, or both.
For both initial and renewal applications, the annual
					 rental fee is due within 30 days after receipt of notification of approval of
					 the application. Failure to pay renewal permit or rental fees will result in
					 the cancellation of the permit and removal and disposal of the Business Sign by
					 the Department.
(e) Service
				  fee. When required by the Department or when requested by the Owner or
				  Responsible Operator, and upon payment of a service fee of $100.00 for each
				  main line sign or $50.00 for each directional sign, the Department may change,
				  cover, uncover, remove, install, reinstall, or replace a Business Sign. Any new
				  or renovated Business Sign required for this purpose shall be provided by the
				  applicant.
(f) Transfer fee.
				  Permits for the installation of Business Signs are transferable; however, any
				  change in ownership of the Qualified Motorist Service Business will require
				  reapplication, approval by the Department, and the payment of a transfer fee of
				  $50.00 for each permit. Failure of the new owner to apply for transfer of the
				  permit will be the basis to revoke the existing permit and remove the
				  sign.
