Illegally Placed Signs


(posted: 4/13/2007)

The spring months are generally filled with many projects including garage and yard sales.  Many people think the best way to advertise these sales is to post signs on telephone poles, traffic signs, and other public areas.  However, please be mindful that placing any advertising material on telephone poles and in the road right of way is illegal in our City.  Each year the Police Department receives numerous calls from our residents to report their signs missing from these locations.  If you are posting signs and they are disappearing, it is because our City employees are taking them down to comply with the law.  Postings and signs that have been removed by the City may be recovered for a fee.
