Bandit Signs???

[Daisy Joy]

Hello everyone - first of all - thanks to all the veterans and those serving our country... MUCH LOVE!!!!

So the county offices are closed today and I'm super eager to hear if anyone knows if bandit signs are allowed in Washoe County, Nevada &/or Douglas County Nevada?

Do you have to check with each city as well? or just county?

I apologize in advance if someone has already answered these questions somewhere in the history of the forums... thanks for any feedback.

Blessings,

Search for the municipal and county codes.  Many are online.  Not always easy to interpret, but you can usually figure it out with some study.

Yes, you will need to check each city where you post signs.  If they allowed by the city, you're probably OK.  If they're not covered by the city, check the county.  Counties sometimes do have sign ordinances, but more commonly these are imposed by cities.

Its a very good bet these are not allowed.  They almost never are, if the city or county do have sign ordinances.  Typically these ordinances (and I've looked at a number of them, since this topic comes up here frequently) ban all signs.   Then they have a series of types of allowed signs and when and where they're allowed.  For example, very common to allow real estate signs advertising a property for sale or rent that are posted at the property.  They also commonly allow "open house" directional signs for the time period of the open house and a few hours before.  But I've never seen an ordinance that has an exception that would allow bandit signs.  Some areas don't have sign ordinances at all.  That's really what you're looking for.
