[RP TownTalk] Posted Sign Ordinance?

[Melissa Avery]

Unless the current town government has recently changed the town ordnance code it is not legal to post signs any place other than your own front yard.

The County has an ordinance prohibiting signs being posted on utility poles, etc.

>Excellent question, Todd. Thanks for asking!  They are certainly an eyesore. Tangentially, some of the handwritten signs for "yard sales" make me think that yard sales have become a sideline business rather than a way to occasionally clear out the attic/garage junk - does the town require permits for yard sales as I know Hyattsville does?
