Hi Cassie, any type of road-side sign and (especially) telephone pole signs are STRICTLY forbidden and policed in city limits of Decatur and (less strictly) in Atlanta.
E-mail me if you’d like to see if we can do some business together.

Does anyone know whether the local ordinances in Atlanta prohibit the placing of corrugated plastic or any other signs without a permit?

Hi again Natalie, yes you need a permit. We were the REI sign ‘kings’ for awhile in City of Atlanta and Decatur…Until many residents/police/city inspectors / councilmen / sheriff (and more!) informed us that we were in violation of sign ordinances and subject to LARGE fines at which point we took them ALL back down.
They brought in the calls while they were up, but now we’ve switched to billboards.
BTW, some investors still put up signs regularly and then take them back down when they get ‘called’ on it, but do so at your own risk of fine ($1000/day per sign).
Hope this helps,

Joe,
What signs are you speaking of? Are they the “we buy houses” signs? I live in Decatur and was considering some type of signs also.

I also talked to an Atlanta investor who not only was told to remove the signs, and fined, but also had to serve many hours of community service.
