The November 4th General Election will be here soon, and the City of Lone Tree wants to remind everyone of the political sign regulations.
A sign permit is not required for placement of political signs unless the sign exceeds six square feet in area. However, signs may only be placed upon private property with the consent of the property owner. Signs may not be displayed on sidewalks, streets or medians and may not be attached to trees, poles, fences, vehicles, utility boxes or other signs. We recommend that signs on private property be placed a minimum of 5' from the right of way (sidewalk) in order to clearly exhibit a demarcation line between public and private property,
Campaign signs may be displayed 24 hours per day beginning 90 days before the election. All signs must be removed within two weeks after the election, for the November 4th election signs must be removed by November 18. There is no limit to the number of signs per candidate or ballot issue. The maximum size of a sign is thirty-two (32) square feet per face, with a maximum height of fifteen (15) feet, and the sign must be set back a minimum of five (5) feet from the property line. Signs shall not be animated and shall not flash, blink, fluctuate, etc. (LT Municipal Code 16-29-130).
