Summary
A licensed residential sale in the City of Moore may use no more than five signs, only signs supplied by the city with the sale permit. Sec 9-608 requires one sign on the sale premises and lets the other four go off-site, and every sign must come down within 48 hours of the license expiring.
Not more than five signs shall be used for the purpose of advertising, or otherwise calling attention to, a residential sale licensed under this article, and only signs as provided by the city, upon issuance of the residential sale permit, shall be allowed. One sign shall be located on the immediate premises where the sale is to be conducted. The remaining four signs may be located off the immediate premises where the sale is to be conducted. Such signs shall only be erected in accordance with the instructions issued by the city's building department. All signs advertising the residential sale must be removed within 48 hours after the residential sale license has expired. Failure to remove the signs within 48 hours will result in a fine as provided in section 1-108.
Full Breakdown
Sec 9-608 of the Moore Code of Ordinances regulates advertising for a licensed residential sale under Chapter 9-6, Article 9-6A. It caps total signage at five signs, and those must be signs as provided by the city upon issuance of the residential sale permit, meaning a seller cannot simply print homemade signs; the city supplies the sign stock when it issues the license. Of the five, one sign must stay on the immediate premises where the sale takes place, while the remaining four may be posted off the sale property to direct traffic.
Placement of every sign, whether on-site or off-site, must follow the instructions issued by the city's building department, giving that department control over exactly where and how the signs may be erected. Once the residential sale license expires, meaning after the licensed sale period of up to three consecutive days under Sec 9-604, every advertising sign must come down within 48 hours. The 48-hour removal clock runs from license expiration regardless of whether the seller personally placed the off-site signs or had someone else post them, since the duty to remove falls on the license holder.
Violations & Fines
Sec 9-608 directly ties a specific penalty to late sign removal: failure to remove the signs within 48 hours will result in a fine as provided in section 1-108, meaning up to $500.00 per Sec 1-108's general penalty. Using more than five signs, or signs not supplied by the city with the permit, is likewise a violation of the article punishable under Sec 9-611.
