Johns Creek, GA Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

A Standard Informational Sign is a non-illuminated temporary freestanding sign limited to either one sign of 16 square feet or up to four signs not exceeding an aggregate of 16 square feet. Each sign may be no greater than 8 feet above the grade level of the adjacent street, or 4 feet above ground level, whichever is greater, and must be no closer than 10 feet to the back of curb of a private roadway.
