Bylaw warns: keep your signs on private property

The warmer weather brings the beginning of yard sale season once again.

But the City’s bylaw manager Suzanne Stubbs said that garage and yard sale organizers need to remember the rules of the signage.

“Signs are not allowed on any City property,” said Stubbs. “They can be placed on private property, and if you are going to be placing them on private property, you have to make sure you get the permission of the person who owns that property.”

The ‘Portable Sign Bylaw’ could see offenders face a hefty fine of $150.

Stubbs added that there is one other rule that may not be as well-known.

“The one thing they have to remember that if they are placing signage up, that it has to be removed every night from that location,” said Stubbs. “They can’t just leave it there, they have to make sure the sign is removed and they have to go back the following morning to put the sign back up.”

Stubbs added that attaching a sign to your parked vehicle is perfectly acceptable as long as the vehicle is not blocking a visible turn or City signage.

This bylaw came into effect in 2010 to help keep the city from being cluttered with too many signs according to Stubbs.

If you have any questions you can call the bylaw at 953-4222.
