The City of Marion fields many questions and complaints pertaining to signs. Many of the comments relate to the placement of temporary signs such as garage or yard sales, real estate and political signs.
Temporary signs should only be placed on private property. Residents who wish to place temporary signs on another person's property should obtain permission prior to sign placement.
City regulations do not permit temporary signs to be placed in the city right-of-way (that is, the area located between the curb and sidewalk, sometimes referred to as the "parking"). In addition, signs are not allowed to be attached to a structure in the right-of-way such as:
Signs placed in this manner are illegal and can be removed without notice.
