In that situation, where they live in an area that charges, and that is the
only way to get in.
You put the extra charge on the bill.
I personally like my semi-permanent signs. (I can remove them on the sale of
the vehicle)
I do believe they give you more legitimacy than the magnetic kind.
Mind you, I started with magnetic ones, and when I had them, I thought they
were fine.
