Be Good with your Signs

Message #2 – Offending Behavior

If you post a listing sign off your listed property, post more than one sign, or leave them up long after your listing sells, you risk a fine by code enforcement.

The laws are different, depending on the location of your listing. Find out more with this handy resource.

Be good with your signs.

Regulation of Residential (Single- Family) Real Estate Signs

Presented by Spokane Realtors.

If you notice any permanent "off-premises" branded yard signs, please report the location of those signs, with a photograph and any other relevant information, to: signs@spokanerealtor.com.
