Madison Park

Dear Builder:

As home building continues to rebound in the Charlotte area, the City of Charlotte’s Code Enforcement staff has noticed a growing number of improperly placed real estate signs throughout the city. This letter is to serve as a reminder of the rules and regulations concerning off-premise sign placement (Section 13.106(13) of the City of Charlotte Zoning Ordinance and Section 10-212(a) of the City of Charlotte Health and Sanitation Ordinance).

• Signs may not be placed within 11 feet of the edge of the pavement of any road.
• Signs shall not exceed two in number per property being advertised and not be located more than one half a mile from the property being advertised.
• Signs shall not be placed before 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and must be removed by 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. 
• Signs shall not be placed on trees, utility poles, traffic control signs, lights or devises, or within a sight distance triangle.

Continued violation of the provisions listed above will result in escalating monetary citations. Our goal is to both respond to citizen complaints and to promote healthy, vibrant neighborhoods and businesses. We look forward to working with you to enhance the quality of life for the current members of our community while making Charlotte an attractive and inviting place for our future residents.

Sincerely,

D. Mark Fowler

You are subscribed to Code Enforcement updates.

This information has recently been updated, and is now available.

This also applies to all the signs in our community put up by realtors and residents. Our New Code Inspector just spoke on this subject Monday night at our HOA meeting.  

All signs must be back 11 feet from the curb.   Not on telephone poles, and never in planting strips or medians.

Feel free to use this space of our web site to post yard sales, lost pets etc.

Fines can be very steep quickly.

$100 each for the 1st 5 signs.

$500 each for 5 to 10 signs.

and $1000 for each sign illegally placed starting at number 11 and up.

Madison Park HOA has signed contracts with the City to keep Tyvola Road from Park Road to Old Pineville Clean.  We also have the same for Seneca Place form Park Road to South Blvd.  Please help us keep our community looking its best by not violating the sign rules.   Along both our Adopt A Streets your signs are removed as found and thrown away.   If codes pulls them you could fine a steep fine in your mailbox.

Remember this includes all signs including political signs.    Just remember to place them on private property 11 feet from the curb, and you will not have any issues with signs for the most part.

Our code enforcement officer said Monday night he would be removing and disposing of your signs placed illegally throughout his inspection areas.
