For St Marys, Chapter 65 of the zoning ordinance controls what signs can be placed without a permit. It is quite lenient and there are a number of entities that are allowed to place signs in the public right of way:
- non profits announcing an event (e.g. fire departments)
- new businesses announcing their opening
.
.
.
And yes, those annoying subdivision signs that sprout up for each weekend are legal. Up to 5 per subdivision, placed after 4pm on friday and removed before 8am monday. They have to remain 5ft from the road and can't obstruct vision. Of course, the developers push the limits on this all the time and place more signs than allowed and closer to the road than allowable.
