City To Assess Fines for Illegal Signs in the Right-of-Way

Inspections Division - May 23, 2007
Contact: Ronnie Grubbs, 727-2628

Starting June 1, 2007, the city will begin enforcing a $50 fine for each sign that is illegally posted in the right-of-way at street intersections, along streets, and on trees, posts and utility poles in the right-of-way.

The only exceptions are directional signs for yard sales and real-estate sales or open-houses, which may be posted at noon the Friday before the event and must be removed by noon the following Monday.

Violators will be served a civil penalty notice with the assessed fines for each sign violation. For more information, call the Inspections Division at 727-2628.
