Campaign signs prohibited on public rights-of-way
HUNTINGTON -- The City of Huntington would like to remind all candidates running for public office that placing campaign signs in public rights-of-way is prohibited.
Article 1751.14 of the City Code states, "No person shall hang or place any parasite sign or place any advertisement upon any sidewalk, hydrant, lamppost, tree, telephone, telegraph or electric light pole, fence or building in the City, or advertise by signs tacked, posted or tied to any public property."
The City of Huntington’s Code Enforcement Unit will enforce the ordinance if it finds any campaign signs that are placed in a public right-of-way. The signs will be stored at the City’s Street Division Headquarters, located at 94 2nd St. West. The signs can be retrieved between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
