D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 10, r. 10-B2221
An owner of a displaced advertising sign may be eligible to receive the actual reasonable costs of a move accomplished by a commercial mover.
In any case in which the owner of a displaced sign moves it himself or herself, the owner may be paid an amount, based upon two (2) firm bids or estimates, not in excess of the estimated cost of accomplishing the move commercially.
If in the judgment of the Relocation Office no bids or estimates can be obtained, the owner shall be paid his or her actual reasonable moving costs if substantiated by receipted bills or other evidence of expenses incurred.
The owner of a displaced advertising sign may be eligible for reimbursement for actual direct losses when he or she is entitled to relocate the sign, but does not do so. The amount of reimbursement shall be the depreciated reproduction cost of the sign or the estimated cost of moving the sign, whichever is less.
The owner of a displaced advertising sign may be eligible for reimbursement for the actual reasonable expenses of searching for a replacement sign site, but the payment shall not exceed one hundred dollars ($100). Expenses may include the cost of transportation, meals, lodging away from home, and the fees of real estate brokers or agents.
Payment for the time actually spent in search shall be based on the applicable hourly wage rate of the person conducting the search, but shall not exceed ten dollars ($10) per hour.
