Political issue and candidate signs have been a staple of American democracy for years, offering a low-cost tool for political candidates and organizers to gain recognition and support. As costs to produce the signs have decreased, their popularity has increased among political candidates and businesses alike.
In response, many communities – including Tulsa – have enacted regulations on these types of signs in order to keep their communities safe and clean. By familiarizing yourself with Tulsa’s sign standards, you and your campaign can reduce or eliminate the risk of sign confiscations and/or citations to those who are caught placing signs unlawfully.
