More signage news from in around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as business owners in communities near Johnston, Iowa have complained recently of sign ordinances they believe are too restrictive to meet their business needs. But the controversy has largely bypassed Johnston, in part due to a change in city ordinance years ago.

Dave Wilwerding, Johnston's community development director, said his department cleaned up the city's sign ordinance about six years ago to address the trend of using temporary signs such as banners, sandwich boards and mobile electronic boards to advertise sales.

A $25 permit is required for nonpermanent signage in Johnston, with exceptions for certain types of signs, such as real estate and garage sale signs. Applicants may request such permits for two "events" per year, and each permit granted is valid for 10 days, with one of the events eligible for a 20-day extension.

By comparison, Urbandale previously permitted temporary signs to be displayed for 40 consecutive days. The ordinance was amended to extend the limit to 100 days.
