(a) An application for a permit and the permit application fee shall be submitted to the Office of Outdoor Advertising Services at the address found at 16:41C-1.3.

(b) Permit applications forms can be obtained by requesting the form from the Department, in writing, at the address found at 16:41C-1.3 or downloaded from the Department's website at: http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/business/outdoor/forms.shtm.

(c) Each application shall specify the location where the sign is to be erected and maintained. The application shall depict graphically the location of the proposed sign by showing its distance from the nearest intersecting road, railroad crossing, bridge, or other permanent point of reference. The measurement shall be made along the nearest edge of the highway pavement from the closest permanent place of identification, such as an intersecting road, railroad crossing, or bridge to the proposed sign location. If a sign is built at a location other than that specified in an approved application, the sign shall be deemed to be unauthorized by a permit.

(d) A single application shall cover a double-faced, back-to-back, side-by-side, or V-type sign, provided that those signs are physically contiguous, connected by the same structure or cross-bracing, or located not more than 15 feet apart at their nearest point. The fee charged will be for the total advertising surface area at that location.

(e) Applications that contain incorrect or conflicting information shall be deemed incomplete and shall be returned to the applicant for completion or correction. If a corrected application is not received by the Department within 30 days of notification that the application was deemed incomplete, the application will be considered withdrawn and no further action will be taken by the Department.

(f) Applications for signs that are subject to the jurisdiction of the Pinelands Commission shall include a Certificate of Filing, a Notice of Filing, a Certificate of Completeness, a resolution of the Pinelands Commission approving the development of the sign, or such other document that satisfies the requirements of 7:50-4.81(b). Applications submitted without such documentation shall be deemed incomplete and shall be returned to the applicant in accordance with (e) above.

(g) Applications deemed complete shall be assigned an application number by the Department and shall be reviewed pursuant to the provisions of 16:41C-6.3.
