Provo, UT Sign Regulations: Digital Billboards (2026)

and the city's north boundary, and Center Street between I-15 and 900 West, on non-residentially zoned property only. A converted digital billboard cannot exceed the square footage of the original static billboard it replaces. Brightness is capped at three-tenths (3/10) foot candle above ambient light, measured at ground level at distances scaled to sign size: 100 feet for signs up to 100 square feet, 150 feet for 101-350 square feet, 200 feet for 351-650 square feet, and 250 feet for anything over 650 square feet.

Every sign must carry a dimmer control and photocell that auto-adjusts intensity, plus a default shutoff within 24 hours of a reported malfunction. Messages must hold static for a minimum of 8 seconds with no flashing, scrolling, twirling, color change, or fade, and each message must stand complete on its own without continuing onto the next display. Spacing rules keep digital billboards at least 300 feet from any non-digital off-premises sign, 1,200 feet from another digital billboard on the same side of the street, 1,600 feet from one on the opposite side, 500 feet from an interstate interchange, and 300 feet from any residence (reducible to 150 feet if no part of the sign face is visible from that residence).
