Signage Regulations
Permissible Signs Vary by Type and Zoning
Signs | Signage | Yard Sign | Banners | Permanent Sign | A Frame
The City of Newberg regulates the placement of signs on private property and within the public right-of-way for the purpose of maintaining a clean, attractive, economically vibrant, and safe community. For questions regarding signs, contact the Planning Department.
Community, Commercial and Industrial Signs
Signs that are permanently attached to the ground or building usually require a permit and shall meet the current Oregon Structural Specialty Code.
Refer to the sign application and determine if your sign needs a permit
Portable and Temporary Signs
A portable sign is any sign not permanently attached to the ground or structure (e.g., A-frames, yard signs, balloons, banners, etc.). A common method during campaign / election season is the use of portable signs which are considered temporary (NMC Section 15.43,090). No permit is required for portable signs unless you wish to use more than allowed by the City Code (NMC 15.435.105).
Typically, temporary signs are used for advertising, elections, directional guidance, items for sale, garage sales, lost and found animals, private events, real estate, etc. while portable signs are used by businesses to advertise in the public right-of-way adjacent to their property.
The City does not distinguish signs based on content; therefore, the following limits apply to all portable and temporary signs for specific events.
NUMBER OF SIGNS
| Generally, a lot or property may contain two (2) portable sign per street frontage plus two (2) additional temporary portable signs. |
DURATION

Grand opening event: Up to 30 days in duration within 30 days of issuance of a certificate of occupancy, or change of business or ownership. Other events: May not be more than eight (8) consecutive days in duration. |

PLACEMENT OF SIGNS
