Newly adopted sign ordinance regulations now in effect for Iowa City

Posted:  December 03, 2008

By adoption of the City Council, effective September 25, 2008, residential leasing company signs are now allowed in the RM-12, RM-20, RNS-20, RM-44 and PRM zones on multi-family buildings of eight or more units.
A residential leasing sign is a building sign displaying the name, address, phone number, website, crest, insignia and/or trademark of the leasing company for the multi-family building upon which it is located. The sign must be a building sign, one per building, no more than 3 square feet in size, and it must be located no more than 10 feet above grade. 


Signs attached to buildings that do not meet these standards are illegal and will need to be removed immediately. If you have questions regarding the new ordinance, please call Norm Cate, 356-5137 or Jann Ream, 356-5120.
