Calvert County Community Planning and Building is proposing a 33 page draft of new and updated sign regulations for our Businesses. You will only be able to use 25% of your window space, you will not be allowed to park any vehicle with advertising on it on your businesses property, no temporary signs on weekends (which the County crews will pick up and bill you $25 for EACH sign), and more...this is just a few of the many proposals included.

We have reached one hundred signatures which provides the necessary leverage to request a formal meeting with the planning director. I am currently drafting a letter to the county office to put these specific regulatory concerns on the official hearing agenda.

As an owner of two retail businesses in Calvert county, this would make advertising even harder. If anything, the sign regulations need to be reduced from what they have currently.

Seems quite extreme. How does this affect businesses such as florists and oil companies who have their names painted on their vehicles? Why does the county care how much window space is used for signage?

these regulations will increase business advertising cost, which will increase what our local clients pay. Please support our local families

The little roadside signs are sometimes a distraction, but small business thrive on inexpensive advertising: Business signage, Their vehicles, etc. Small businesses need the word of mouth referrals and drive by business

Concerned small business owner. My car is one of only a limited number of advertising opportunities for me since I don't have a store front. And it's MY car!
