An owner or occupant who fails to post on his
premises the street number assigned thereto within six months after
being given notice as hereinafter provided of the number which has
been assigned or receiving actual notice thereof, whichever occurs
earlier, or any owner or occupant who fails to keep said number posted
and maintained in a legible condition or any person who unlawfully
removes, defaces or conceals said number shall be subject to a fine
of $50 for each offense. In case of a failure to post, keep posted
or maintain said number in a legible condition, each day such number
is not so posted, kept posted or maintained in a legible condition
shall constitute a separate offense.
Street numbers shall be assigned from time to
time by the Selectmen who shall, as soon after the assignment as practical,
cause notice of the number assigned to be mailed to the party or any
one of the parties listed as an owner of the premises on the tax records
of the Town as of January 1 of the year in which the number was assigned
or notice mailed, whichever occurs later. Such notice may, at the
option of the Selectmen, be sent with an annual tax bill covering
the premises.
