The City of Prescott
has banned all signs, including Open House signs, within the city limits in the
public right of ways. This decision was made as a result of the U.S. Supreme
Court ruling in the case of Gilbert v. Reed. Cities all across the country are
looking at their sign codes and we could be dramatically impacted.
There are many
people in Prescott who are working to change the situation and the final story
on this has been written; however, it is a reminder for us just how much we can
be impacted by decisions made every day in local town halls.
This pertains to the
temporary, 18” x 24” signs that realtors put on public rights of way during an
open house. The smaller, 9” x 12” signs that some realtors still drive into the
ground on stakes in public rights of way are already illegal.
