Full Breakdown
Voters approved Ordinance 3483 in an April 2015 referendum banning electronic message signs anywhere in Edmond: defined as any ground-sign device using lights, diodes, or similar illumination to display letters or numerals for products or services (§ 15.31A.010). The ban cannot be waived by variance, so a business cannot obtain board approval to install an LED reader-board or digital billboard. The only carve-outs are time-and-temperature displays and gasoline price signs that otherwise comply with the rest of the sign code.
Violations & Fines
Installing or operating a prohibited electronic message sign is a sign code violation citable by the Code Enforcement Official; because the ban excludes variances, there is no administrative path to approve one after the fact.
