ROCK HALL, MD - To maintain visual harmony and uphold the town's aesthetics, the Town of Rock Hall has recently updated its sign ordinance. The new regulations address the use of various public signs and advertising displays.


According to the updated ordinance, signs that flutter, spin, or resemble other similar types-such as pennants, banners, and streamers-are now prohibited. However, exceptions have been made for national flags, the flags of political subdivisions of the United States, and flags representing recognized civic, charitable, fraternal, and welfare organizations.


The ordinance also permits these types of displays during nationally recognized holidays and special civic events. Temporary permits may be issued during these times, allowing residents and organizations to legally use festive decorations.


These changes aim to preserve the town's aesthetic integrity and ensure compliance with visual standards. Residents and businesses are encouraged to review the new regulations to align their advertising methods with the town's guidelines.


The Rock Hall government is committed to maintaining a welcoming and orderly environment that benefits both residents and visitors. For more details on the new sign ordinance, individuals can visit the Rock Hall town website or contact town officials directly.
