Williams County of North Dakota has ended a 3 month moratorium on sign permits which began on April 3, 2014. This action taken by the county officials was considered a necessary exercise in order to update the existing sign code to accommodate various sign permit request and balancing the requirements of the local municipalities.
At the same time the county was able to revise and update applicable areas of the code to be inline with the amendments that have occurred this year with the Federal Highway Outdoor Advertising Agreements which each state is required to review and address/implement accordingly under their state codes.
