IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR, ELECTION SEASON!
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN SIGNS….
A Community Reminder,
New Britain Borough has a Zoning Ordinance for Temporary Signage (including Political signs)
§450-44 H. (2)
Political campaign sign. A sign advertising a political party or a candidate for election may be displayed, provided that the size of any such sign is not in excess of four-square feet and provided that they are displayed by the owner or lessee of the lot or by the candidate or political party or other authorized agent of them with the permission of the lot owner or lessee.
All such signs shall be erected or displayed no more than 30 days prior to an election and must be removed within 20 days after the date of the election to which such signs relate.
If such signs are not removed at the end of 20 days following the election, the Borough shall have them removed and may recover the cost of removal from the individual who placed the signs.
No sign shall be placed within or on any sidewalk, or parking lot, nor shall the placement of any sign limit sight distances along any roadway or driveway.
Any sign located in violation of this section, or which interferes with Borough operations will be removed and the person, persons or entity responsible for such sign will be subject to the penalties prescribed in § 450-76 of Article XI Enforcement, hereafter.
