(1) Transfer of Permits. Requests to transfer a permit pursuant to Florida Statutes § 479.07(6), shall be submitted on an Outdoor Advertising Permit Transfer Request, Form 575-070-25, Rev. 10/15, incorporated herein by reference at https://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-06272.
(a) The recipient of the transferred permit shall certify that written permission from the landowner, or other person in lawful control of the sign site, to maintain the sign on the site pursuant to Florida Statutes § 479.07(2), has been secured.
(b) If a transfer of permit is made when the permit has been issued a notice of violation, or if a revocation proceeding is pending, the permit is subject to conditions existing at the time of transfer. The Department’s approval of a permit transfer shall not constitute a waiver of rights on the part of the Department, nor shall a permit transfer in any way prohibit the issuance of a notice of violation, or preclude the Department from revoking the transferee’s permit pursuant to Florida Statutes § 479.08, or this rule chapter.
(c) If a transfer of sign permit is made during the initial 270 days from the date of permit issuance, the permit transferee receives the sign permit subject to all conditions which were applicable to the original applicant.
(2) Cancellation of Permits. Permit cancellation notification must be submitted on Outdoor Advertising Permit Cancellation Certification, Form 575-070-12, Rev. 10/15, incorporated herein by reference at https://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-06273. All canceled tags must be returned to the Department with the certification, or otherwise be accounted for in writing.
(3) Conditional Permit Cancellation. When an applicant requests cancellation of one permit in order to obtain a new permit, the existing permit shall be canceled simultaneously with the issuance of the new permit. The Outdoor Advertising Permit Cancellation Certification incorporated in above subsection (2), and the Application for Outdoor Advertising Permit incorporated in subsection 14-10.004(1), F.A.C., shall be submitted simultaneously to the Department. If a new permit does not meet current permitting requirements and cannot be issued, the existing permit will not be canceled.
(4) Permits Canceled, or Not Renewed, in Error – Petition for Reinstatement. Pursuant to Section 479.07(8)(b), F.S., a petition for reinstatement of permits canceled, or not renewed, in error shall be submitted to the State Outdoor Advertising License and Permit Office. The petition must be in writing, list the affected permit(s), and shall certify that:
(a) The permit was canceled, or not renewed, in error by the permittee;
(b) The permit tag for the canceled or expired permit was returned to the Department or otherwise accounted for;
(c) The sign has not been disassembled; and,
(d) The local government has not declared the sign illegal or taken any other action to have it removed.
If the Reinstatement Petition is denied by the Department, a new permit may be issued for a sign only if the sign meets all current permitting requirements. The reinstatement fee is $300.00 per permitted sign.
(5) Reestablishment. Where the expansion or relocation of a transportation facility causes a sign to be located in the right of way, or within fifteen feet of the right of way, and the sign cannot be relocated pursuant to SectionS 479.15(3)(4) and (6), F.S., the permittee may reestablish the sign at a location that conforms with Florida Statutes Chapter 479, and this rule chapter and meets all current requirements for permitting by submitting a completed Application for Outdoor Advertising Permit, incorporated in subsection 14-10.004(1), F.A.C. Initial application fees are not required with an application for reestablishment.
(6) Relocation. Where a Department project causes a sign lawfully permitted by the Department to be located in the right of way, the Department shall allow the relocation of the sign provided all requirements of Sections 479.15(3), (4), (5), and (6), F.S., are met. A sign relocation shall be by agreement between the permit holder and the Department. The sign permit will be amended to reflect the relocated location in the outdoor advertising database.
