  • Any sign erected or maintained in violation of this chapter is declared to be a public nuisance. Upon a resolution of the board of supervisors declaring the violation to be a nuisance, after notice to the occupant of the property on which the sign is situated, any peace officer of the county may summarily abate the nuisance by demolishing and removing the sign. The cost of the work shall be charged to the owner of the premises involved, as a special assessment on the land on which the structure is located and shall be collected in the manner provided for special assessments.

    The board of supervisors may in addition to the foregoing remedy and in addition to any other remedy direct the district attorney to commence the action or proceedings necessary and convenient to abate the nuisance.
