The Outdoor Advertising Permit — Type and Issuance
The placement of outdoor advertising is provided for in the catalogue of permit types of the licensing law as a distinct type, and its issuance rule is established within the same law: the outdoor advertising placement permit is issued by way of auction. The separation is principled — the use of property in the public sector for advertising is distributed through competitive selection in the market, not through a direct application.
The hierarchy of issuance is likewise written in the law itself: the decision on introducing the permit regulation is the discretionary power of the respective municipality’s representative organ — the sakrebulo; where the decision is taken, the permit is issued by the executive organ of the municipality, and in a self-governing city — by the executive organ of that self-governing city or a legal entity of public law founded by it.
