At any time following the end of the fifth year after a sign becomes nonconforming the commissioner of transportation may, by registered or certified mail, revoke the permit and order the removal of such nonconforming sign, which order shall be final on the date of mailing. Until the end of said 5-year period no nonconforming sign may be ordered to be removed unless it violates RSA 236:74, I(a), (b) or (c).
