City reminds community about Carmel
sign standards
The 2024 General Primary Elections are now upon us, and the City of Carmel would like to remind all parties and all candidates of the Unified Development Ordinance Sign Standards for Temporary Signs.
The City is asking you to assist by helping to ensure that all candidates, campaign volunteers and property owners are aware of and understand these rules. The Carmel Sign Standards do not prevent a property owner from conducting political speech on their private property, but do prohibit signs from being placed on public property including within the City’s street right-of-way.
