§ 8827 Public Structure Removal Authority

• •The city or county can remove things like decorations or additions on public property if they are dangerous or harmful to people.
• •Before removing them, the city or county must give a warning and wait 60 days.
• •This is to keep everyone safe and healthy.

A store owner builds a fancy but wobbly sign that sticks out over the sidewalk.

If the city decides the sign is dangerous because it might fall and hurt someone, they will warn the owner. If the owner doesn’t fix it in 60 days, the city can take it down.
