Sign Ordinances

It is important that REALTORS® are aware of the sign ordinances that apply to the North Bay area. Below are useful links to find the sign regulations in your area.

Red Arrow Guidelines

Essentially ALL directional arrows are illegal through both County and City of Santa Rosa ordinance. And as more and more signs popped up all over the place, the City and County threatened substantial punishment for having them installed. However, through a “hand shake” agreement, they are allowing directional arrows for hard to find properties. REALTORS® have agreed to limit the use of directional signs to prevent very restrictive sign ordinances and government penalties that would be passed if we do not self-police.
