Helpful Information

Snipe Signs:
Snipe signs are advertisements stuck into the ground or hanging from utility poles that clutter up our community, distract motorists from their driving and deteriorate into eyesores. 
Everyone can help by considering all signs in the right of way are illegal. A better idea for neighborhood meeting signs, garage sales, real estate events or advertisements is to follow the law and obtain permission from a private property owner to place the sign onto private property.
