§ 62-1184. Discontinuation on damage to structure.

If any nonconforming structure is destroyed or damaged by any cause and such damage exceeds 50 percent of the fair market value of such structure, such structure shall thereafter only be put to a use specifically in conformity with the provisions of the applicable zoning classification and any other provision of this article or amendment to this article, and the privileges of this subdivision shall be deemed forfeited for such structure. Fair market value, for the purposes of this section, shall be deemed the valuation of such structure by the county property appraiser in his assessment for levying of ad valorem taxes for the tax year in which such damage was sustained. Exceptions to this section shall be as provided in section 62-1182(b)(3).
