Signage Crackdown

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as in the last two months, 60 business owners in Bartow, Florida have found out the hard way that their signs violate the city's sign ordinance. Each of them has gotten a letter from Bartow code enforcement inspectors asking them to fix the problem or face the city's code enforcement board.

"We're really cracking down on this sign problem," said Gregg Lamb, director of the city's building department. "It was getting out of hand. If we don't restrict it, it looks like the circus is coming to town down Broadway Avenue."

Most of the businesses have complied, Lamb said, which is all the city wants them to do.

"We really haven't had too much trouble," he said. "The Planning and Zoning Commission worked hard several years ago revamping the sign ordinance, and it should be enforced. We just want the city to look nice."

Most of the violations have involved temporary signs in road rights-of-way and banners on storefronts, he said. If business owners see somebody else getting away with it, then they're going to try it.
