(a) No person shall establish, operate, or maintain a junkyard containing any items listed in Section 45–45–173.01, but not limited to those items, any portion of which is within 1,000 feet of the nearest edge of the right-of-way of any highway, without obtaining a county license to do so from the county commission through the county license director. No license shall be granted except for those junkyards which are screened by natural objects, plantings, fences, or other appropriate means so as not to be visible from the highway. The operation of an unlicensed junkyard constitutes a public nuisance.
(b) The county commission shall adopt regulations and requirements for issuing licenses for the operation of junkyards within the limits defined in this part, and may revoke the licenses at any time a junkyard fails to conform to the requirements of this part, and shall charge a license fee of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) nor less than five hundred dollars ($500) payable each fiscal year. This license fee shall be in addition to the license fee required under Section 23–1–244. All licenses issued under this part shall expire on September 30 following the date of issue. Licenses may be renewed from year to year upon payment of the fee. Proceeds from the fees shall be deposited in the general fund of the county.
