Tomahawk to enforce uniform sign code

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

Last year the City of Tomahawk adopted a Uniform Sign Code. With the construction on North Fourth Street and the hardships it created for businesses located in the city, law enforcement was not pursued. In a news release, they announced that with construction being completed the city would ask each merchant and resident to review their compliance with the ordinance.

Free standing and wall signs erected before July 6 of last year generally are not affected by the ordinance, until they are replaced or the cost of repairs exceeds 50% of the value.

Any person who violates or fails to comply with any of the provisions is subject to the penalties contained in the zoning code.

The full ordinance is available on the city website and at the clerk’s office. Specific questions about the Uniform Sign ordinance may be directed to the clerk's office or the building inspector.
