No Sign Violations

The Code Compliance Department has begun proactively enforcing the City’s sign ordinances. Beginning on Monday, November 6^th Code Compliance Inspectors have been instructed to, if they observe a violation, remove the signs, bring them to the Code Compliance office, contact the owners of the signs and return the signs. This will be an education phase for 30 days, after which a Notice of Code violation will be issued.

As always, the City prefers voluntary compliance.

The Code reads as follows:

Sec. 114-2. – Posting notices, signs or advertising matter on trees, poles or public property.

No notice, sign or any advertising matter shall be posted on any tree or telegraph or telephone pole erected on the City streets nor on the walls of any City building nor on any property of the City, without the written approval of the city manager, except that legal, election and similar notices may be posted on bulletin boards.

Sec. 114-4. – Placing signs on surface of streets or sidewalks.

It shall be unlawful for any person to stencil, write, paint, erect or place advertising signs or notes upon the surface of any street or sidewalk, except signs or decorations placed by the City.
