Real Estate Open House Signs

 

While temporary open house signs are exempt from sign permit requirements, if these signs block public sidewalks, a potential obstacle is created for pedestrians and for those reliant on wheelchairs and scooters to get around.  Please take note that Santee Municipal Code Section  17.32.040(A)(3) prohibits these signs on the sidewalk which is part of the public right-of-way.  Such signs may be placed beside the sidewalk to maintain visibility while being sensitive to those who use the sidewalks.   Residents who encounter these signs within the sidewalk may be tempted to remove them.  Please contact the City’s Code Compliance Officer at (619)-258-4100, extension 206.  City staff will arrange for removal. 
Thank you
