Manitou Springs, CO Sign Regulations: Digital Billboards (2026)

3 of the Land Use and Development Code lists twenty-one categories of prohibited signs, and digital signs sit alongside animated and flashing signs as items 11 through 13. 0-1. The chapter also bans revolving beacons, searchlights, signs that emit sound, and signs mounted on vehicles used mainly for advertising, so the digital-sign ban sits inside a broader effort to keep the historic canyon streetscape free of electronic and moving displays. 3. 1(A)(7)(j) expressly disclaims content regulation except for false, illegal or obscene messages), the digital-sign ban is a content-neutral, technology-based restriction rather than a message-based one, which is how the City frames its rationale for barring the format outright rather than capping brightness or dwell time.
