Nassau County, FL Sign Regulations: Digital Billboards (2026)

03(C) of the Land Development Code prohibits an "electronic digital sign (regardless of frequency of display change)" anywhere in unincorporated Nassau County, and the language is written broadly on purpose: it also reaches moving message signs and changeable copy signs that can be altered by electro-mechanical or electro-magnetic means, plus any other sign type that uses moving parts, light manipulation, graphical manipulation or any other methodology to create the illusion of motion. The provision carves out one specific exception: it is "not intended to prohibit manual changeable copy signs such as those customarily associated with gas price display," so a gas station can still hand-change numbers on its price sign.

For any digital sign that is otherwise present, the section separately requires it to comply with all state and federal rules on radio frequency interference. 02, which none currently does for digital displays. The current text was adopted by Ordinance No. 2025-020 on July 28, 2025, and is administered by the Planning and Economic Opportunity Department, with the Building Department handling ground-sign permitting for the non-digital signage that remains allowed on a parcel.
