Officer verifies that the street numbers have been properly displayed.
The absence of address numbers, or the insecure
fastening or absence of any whole number thereof, or the use of any
number not properly assigned by the Town, or the failure of address
numbers to meet visibility requirements, shall all be considered violations
of this chapter.
Any structure having street numbers which are
Arabic in design, logical in sequence, within the distance required,
a minimum of four inches in height and of contrasting colors as of
the effective date of this chapter shall be deemed to be in substantial
compliance with this chapter.

The Code Enforcement Officer, to be appointed
by the Barre Town Board, is hereby authorized to grant exemptions
from the number size requirements of this chapter where public safety
is not adversely affected.
Failure to comply with the property numbering
regulations of this chapter shall be punishable, upon conviction,
by a fine of not more than $250 or a term of imprisonment of not more

at any such time. Each day on which such violation exists shall constitute
a separate violation.
