Election Signs

As the November election year approaches, residents are asked to remember City ordinances regarding election signs. There is no longer a 30-day limit on the number of days an election sign can be displayed.

Temporary signs for candidates, public issues or similar matters may not be more than six square feet and may not have any artificial illumination.

Finding the right location for your signs is important. Signs may not be affixed to any public utility, pole, tree, street signs or natural object. They cannot be located within a public right-of-way, public park or public property, including tree lawns.

Signs may not create a safety or visibility hazard for motorists and pedestrians.

When placing signs on private property, permission must be obtained from the property owners.
