Can I place a for sale or other type of sign at the intersection down the street?
A
No, signs are not allowed in the right-of-way or on utility poles. Only on-premise signs are allowed with a permit. This regulation prevents safety hazards associated with temporary signs obstructing vision at intersections. This can cause unnecessary traffic accidents. In addition, these signs are unsightly and have a negative effect on the appearance of our community.
I want to construct a fence in my yard. Do I need a permit and is there a maximum fence height?

Do I need a development permit to place or construct a utility building on my property?
A
