An announcement has been made that the Legislature will resume discussion of approving the Signs Act, which aims to charge an annual tax on advertising signs installed on streets and roads.
As yet no date has been announced for the return to the discussion of the rules, but consultation is already taking place with the 153 municipalities of the country. The tax proposed, for each sign, varies depending on the size, type of structure and placement.
The Controller has endorsed a proposal to create street names in the city of San Jose.
The initiative includes the installation of 16,000 name plates throughout the canton bearing the number of the street and avenue, which will be attached to facades or on poles, said Mayor Johnny Araya.
The signs would be installed in 2013 and would show the logo of the Municipality as well as Banco Nacional and Banco de Costa Rica, sponsors of the project.
