Getting fined for telephone pole signs

[Chesebro]

I don’t believe it, I know it!

Yeah the state/government would rather profit from a 1 time sales tax of a few signs rather than ongoing tax on the work the signs generate lol. Well done. These signs are considered littering. think about it, if someone puts up signs will they ever take them down or leave them there until they fall off or someone rips down the littering.

The only way you can get away with it is if you don’t use your registered legal business name. Something generic like just “pressure washing service” and use a prepaid phone that isn’t linked to your business like a metro pcs phone… No way they can track you down that way…

The system is intended for you to spend on advertising, Although I don’t condone what I just suggested to you, If you can use it just to get your self up, I strongly suggest you look at other more professional long term advertising options.

I wish you well!

Please, no one follow this advice. Be professional in all aspects.

I see signs on power poles all over Louisville, don’t think there’s any enforcement or law against it. Heck every other pole seems to have some PW or lawn care sign on it.

That’s here though, I wouldn’t make a blanket statement that it’s illegal everywhere in the US.

If you don’t get permission to put a sign on a property, I wouldn’t personally do it. We leave them in yards we do work for, most homeowners want to help your small business out. You would be surprised how much business you can get just doing that. Hope that helps.

I can understand 1 or 2 in key locations and play the “i didn’t know” card but 300 takes a bit of planning and ordering to not confirm 100% the legality of all of this lol.

That being said… if I put 300 around the city I live in they’d be on every damn corner. The population here is around 250,000 and it’s a decent sized city

I have 300 signs already shipped, and they’re all just “house washing” or “Got Moss?” with a white background. I realize now that putting signs in front of costumer houses is the best way to go, but my question is, are the signs in my large order appropriate for costumer lawns? Should I make use of them or just never use them and make new ones?

Where the heck do you live?

Somewhere with at least 300 telephone poles

Knocking on doors down here in GA will land you in jail without a solicitors license, and a solicitors license is harder to get and involves more paperwork, references, and background checks than getting a concealed weapons permit. Top it all off, people will call the cops on you in a hot minute around here. Gotta preface telling people to “go knock doors” with “go check your local laws first” nowadays.
