I received a letter last week from city hall stating that all businesses will have to pay a standard fee for signs on their own property ranging from DR$2,000- $4,000. Is this legal?
I can understand that they may want to charge for cruza calles, regardless of their placement, and advertisements posted outside of immediate area of the businesses. But to charge for a sign sitting on top of the actual building? Isn?t that considered to be private property?
I really need to know since a large group of business owners met outside the chamber of commerce to discuss the issue and no one was sure about the legality of the measure taken by city hall, but all said they would not pay it.
