(a) Unless the department determines under §21.186
of this subchapter (relating to Determination That Sign is Destroyed)
that a damaged sign has been destroyed, an amended permit is not required
to rebuild a conforming sign that has been damaged by a motor vehicle
collision or an act of God, including wind or a natural disaster.
(b) Before a permit holder may begin rebuilding a sign
under subsection (a) of this section, the permit holder must obtain
from the department, within one year after the date that the damage
to the sign occurred, written confirmation that the sign qualifies
for the exception provided by that subsection.
(c) In this section, "rebuild" means to re-erect a
sign at its permitted location without any changes from the sign as
it existed before being damaged.
