WARNING
PLACEMENT OF POLITICAL SIGNS
Dear 2003 City Commission Candidate:
Please advise your campaign workers that the placement of political signs within the City limits is
governed under Section 138-134 of the City Code, which provides that:
Signs in a single-family district are limited to four (4) square feet in size and are
limited to one sign for each legal parcel. Signs in the business district, multi-family,
and industrial districts are restricted to one (1) square foot per three (3) lineal feet
of the property's street frontage for a maximum of seventy-five (75) square feet. No
signs are permitted on the City rights-of-way. All election signs shall be removed
seven (7) days following the election to which they are applicable.
In addition, it is unlawful for any person to paste, glue, paint, etc. to any surface on any public street,
sidewalk, curb, etc. any political sign(s).
As we have done with all illegal posters and signs, a $50.00 fine, and a $23.00 administrative fee for
the removal of each sign will be charged. In addition, these signs will be confiscated and destroyed.
We appreciate your cooperation and assistance in keeping our City clean. If you have any questions
you may contact the Code Compliance Division at 305-673-7555.
Sincerely,
Director
Code Compliance Division
