2003 Florida Code
TITLE XXXII REGULATION OF PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS
Chapter 479 OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
479.25 Application of chapter.
479.25 Application of chapter.--This chapter does not prevent a governmental entity from entering into an agreement allowing the height above ground level of a lawfully erected sign to be increased at its permitted location if a noise-attenuation barrier, visibility screen, or other highway improvement is erected in such a way as to screen or block visibility of the sign. However, if a nonconforming sign is located on the federal-aid primary highway system, as such system existed on June 1, 1991, or on any highway that was not a part of such system as of that date but that is or becomes after June 1, 1991, a part of the National Highway System, the agreement must be approved by the Federal Highway Administration. Any increase in height permitted under this section may only be the increase in height which is required to achieve the same degree of visibility from the right-of-way which the sign had prior to the construction of the noise-attenuation barrier, visibility screen, or other highway improvement.
