An on-premises sign loses its on-premises status when the business or activity it advertises has ceased to exist for a period of 12 months at the site of the sign, and the message thereon is visible to the traveling public from a controlled route. The advertising copy on signs meeting this criterion may be removed at the expense of the sign owner or land owner or both without compensation to the sign or site owner as provided in Section 72-7-508 of the Act.
