It costs $170.00 for each application and $0.38 per pole per day.
Once you submit your application and it's approved, you'll receive an invoice via email.

No banners that attempt to direct or influence street traffic in any way.
No banners that obstruct traffic signals or signs.
City retains the right to refuse permits for any reason and revoke permits at any time.

Step 2.Decide where you want to hang your banner

Decide which light pole you want to hang your banner(s) on. You can check pole availability once you start the application process by entering a date range and selecting the pole from the map.

Step 3.Design your banner

It's a good idea to review the Banner Specifications. After you choose an available light pole, your contractor will check the size of your banner to see if you need extra hardware.
