Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 672-6-.11 - Conversion of Permits

(1) When the Department determines that a conforming sign has become nonconforming, the Department shall notify the permit holder by certified mail of the changed status. In an unzoned area, if the business used to qualify a sign permit as conforming has been inactive for 6 months or more, the Department may convert the permit to non-conforming upon notice to the permit holder.

(2) If a permit holder believes a non-conforming sign has become eligible for a conforming permit, the permit holder may apply for conversion to a conforming permit by submitting an Application for Outdoor Advertising Permit and an application fee. If the Department determines the sign is eligible for conversion, the existing permit will be converted to conforming status.
