Campaign (Political) Signs
Ordinance 3099 established the Zoning Code for the City of Vestavia Hills, which includes sign regulations. Article 11, specifically 11.4.4.6, addresses non-commercial signs.
In regard to non-commercial signage during an election:
- Signs may be placed on private property, buildings or motor vehicles (with permission). With permission of the owner, signs may be placed on the property and portions of the street right-of-way maintained by the owner, provided that no sign shall be placed in any state right-of-way nor protrude into or over paved or improved streets, sidewalks or gutters. All signs shall be removed within 48 hours after the election has been determined. For municipal elections, the locational allowances herein shall not apply until the final day of filing of statements for candidacy.
- Sign area. The maximum non-commercial sign area for non-residentially-zoned, occupied lots is 32-sf with a maximum height of 8 feet.
- State rights-of-way. Signage cannot be placed in the ROW of any state highway, primarily Montgomery Highway or Highway 280. All signage must be off ROW. A good delineation to determine state ROW would be to place signage on the far side of power poles in the area (on the business side rather than the pavement side).
- Motor Vehicle Signage. Motor vehicles displaying signage may not be parked, except in the normal course of business, in a parking lot, on a public street or similar public location. The signage hsa to be moving.
- Hazards. Any sign(s) deemed a hazard to safety are prohibited and subject to removal by the City.
For more additional specifics regarding sign regulations, see Ordinance 3099.
