[Vision2020] Info Regarding Political Signs

[Stephanie Kalasz]

Moscow City Code prohibits display of political signs until 60 days
prior to the election that the candidate is participating in (not
before).  Signs that are posted currently may be removed.  People can
get signs back if they contact me.  I am posting the relevant portion of
the Code below.

 

Political advertisements may be posted on private property in the City
in accordance with the following restrictions:

       1.  Residential Zoning Districts:  A maximum of six (6) square
feet of total area per sign shall be permitted on private property.

2.  Commercial Zoning Districts:  A maximum of thirty-two (32) square
feet of total area per sign shall be permitted on private property.  A
sign exceeding thirty-two (32) square feet of total area shall comply
with Title 7, Chapter 6, of this Code.

3.  Political advertisements shall not create a public nuisance, a
private nuisance, or a hazard as determined by the City Engineer or
Community Development Director.

4.  Placement, Display and Removal:

            a.         Placement.  All political advertisement shall be
secured to the ground or to a structure so as not to create a hazard.

            b.         Display.  No political advertisement shall be
displayed more than sixty (60) days preceding the first day of election
for the office for which such is an advertisement.

c.         Removal.  All political advertisements shall be removed
within seven (7) days following the day of final election for the office
for which they are advertisements.  If not timely removed, the City may
remove such political advertisements and collect from the candidate or
his or her campaign the cost of such removal.
