Banners regulated in Missouri tourist destination
Posted: Thursday, March 11, 2010 EDT
Branson, Missouri, the popular tourist destination in southern Missouri, is fine with the all bright digital marquee signs that adorn local buildings, but the recent surge in the use of banners and other temporary signs moved the town to enforce its law requiring a permit for all temporary signs and banners, according to KSMU, a public radio station in Branson.

The town cites excessive placement of signs on city property such as street posts and traffic lights for their increased vigilance in enforcement. Signs that are driven into the ground with a stake also require a city permit unless they are on private land.

"For larger signs we do write them a letter and let them know the process that we would follow if it wasn't removed. For instance, if it wasn't removed then we potentially could put a lien on their property for any expenses that have been incurred for the removal that the city would do," Tara Norback told the news provider.

In Jacksonville, Florida, businesses are fighting punishments levied against it by the city because they received no notice or warning that the placement of banners on any city property or building was a violation, according to FirstCoastNews.com.
