County Signage By-law
The County of Peterborough is proposing changes to the current Signage ByLaw. If you own property within the County, this may apply to you.
Click on the link below to see a memo from County staff highlighting the proposed changes. We are providing the proposed changes to you so that you are aware they are being discussed at County Council in the near future. The first two pages of the document feature a brief summary of the changes by Chris Bradley and should provide a quick overview.
Please note, regarding change #5, which would only allow one sign per business, we asked for clarification from Paul Hurley, Manager of Technical Services with the County. He emailed the following clarification “Our bylaw doesn’t regulate signs attached to buildings those fall under the jurisdiction of the local Townships. It relates to free standing signs erected adjacent to a County road. Also, within urban areas (Lakefield, Bridgenorth, etc.), our bylaw does not apply and signs fall under
the jurisdiction of the local Township.”
