City Sign Regulations
October 8, 2025
The City of Fernie has a Sign Bylaw that helps keep our streets safe, tidy, and welcoming.
A few key points:
- No posters on poles – utility poles, traffic signs, and trees aren’t safe spots for signs, and posting there is against the rules.
- Sandwich boards are allowed, but only if they don’t block sidewalks, doorways, or create hazards.
- All signs need to be safe and maintained – no broken, falling-down, or obstructive signs.
- Some signs need permits (like bigger or permanent ones), while things like election signs have their own rules.
The goal isn’t to take away your message, it’s to make sure signs are safe, fair, and keep Fernie looking great.
