Procedures for Addressing Campaign Sign Violations
In addition to the information above, please note the City of Naperville Code Enforcement procedures for addressing campaign sign violations:
- Illegally placed signs in the city right-of-way (including city right-of-way adjacent to state and county roads within city limits) will be removed without notice to the campaign and discarded.
- Illegal signs (i.e. the size of the sign exceeds what the code allows) on private property will result in communication to both the campaign and property owner requesting that the sign be removed in 48 hours.
- Individuals and/or campaigns that continue to violate the ordinance will be issued citations.
