If a sign requiring a permit under the provisions of this chapter is to be placed, constructed, erected or altered on a lot, the sign owner shall secure a sign permit from the official prior to the construction, placement, erection or alteration of such a sign. Regardless of cost, no sign shall be erected or placed within the City without first making application for and obtaining building permit therefor, except temporary window and political posters, temporary signs pertaining to the sale of adjacent property, and nameplates for identification signs indicating the existence of an approved home occupation or professional office. In addition to the requirements of this title, all signs located within six hundred sixty feet of the right-of-way line of a federally designated highway shall conform to the standards and regulations for such signs established by the State. Any approval or permits hereinabove required and construction or placement of a sign shall not be commenced until all approvals and permits have been obtained.
