Temporary signs are a popular way to advertise and the City of Twin Falls wants to ensure that they don’t interfere with public safety and cleanliness. The City of Twin Falls would like to remind everyone of Twin Falls City Code 10.10.6 regarding temporary signage:
Temporary Sign Regulations:- Private Property Only: temporary signs may be placed only on private property with the owners’ permission.
- No Posting in Public Right-of-Way: Signs are not allowed in the public right-of-way. This includes public-right-of-way around sidewalks, street signs, utility poles and other public spaces and facilities. No temporary signs are allowed in public parks.
- Removal Timeframe: All temporary signs must be removed within 6 months after posting. This keeps our city clean and prevents dangerous visual obstructions as well as litter.
- Torn, damaged or signs in disrepair are against the code and subject to removal.
| Why These Rules Matter:These regulations are in place for several reasons: - Public Safety: Signs placed in the right-of-way can obstruct visibility for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. These obstructions create dangers in our community.
- Property Rights: Many complaints the City receives are for signs that were posted on private property
- Prevent Litter and Property Damage: Strong winds in Southern Idaho sends loose signs and debris into streets and neighboring properties. Removing signs promptly helps maintain the beauty and cleanliness of our city. Additionally, blowing signs and debris can damage vehicles and neighboring properties.
