Full Breakdown
Township Code § 245-313A(14) bars any new billboard from being built or relocated anywhere in Brick Township: the ban doesn't carve out an exception for digital or electronic displays, so it covers LED and changeable-message billboards along with static ones. § 245-314A(8) separately lists billboards and other off-premises commercial advertising signs among prohibited signs townwide. The general sign code also bans animated, flashing, or moving signs (§ 245-313A(6)), which would sweep in a digital billboard's changing images, with only time-and-temperature displays exempted. A billboard already standing that suffers damage exceeding 50% of its value must come down once the Zoning Officer notifies the owner.
Violations & Fines
Erecting or relocating a billboard without authorization violates § 245-313A(14); the Zoning Officer can order removal, and general sign-code violations are enforceable as municipal ordinance violations.
