Full Breakdown
Beyond the town's existing off-premises sign program, Davie allows only two additional off-premises digital signs (up to two faces each), and only after town council certification of the site. Each sign is capped at 14 by 48 feet on a single pole, must sit along the I-75 corridor, cannot be within 500 feet of a residential zoning district, and each digital message must display for at least 7.5 seconds, limiting changes to no more than eight per minute. Certification lapses after 180 days without a building permit.
Violations & Fines
Erecting or operating an off-premises digital sign without town council site certification, or exceeding the size, distance, or display-timing limits, violates Section 12-247 and voids the sign's permit eligibility.
