BINGHAM TOWNSHIP SIGN STANDARDS - CAMPAIGN SIGNS

• Sign Standards for Bingham Township, including those for campaign signs, are contained in Section 3.13 of the Bingham Township Zoning Ordinance.

• The Bingham Township Planning Commission and Township Board amended these sign standards in 2019 to comply with United States Supreme Court decisions.

• Campaign signs are considered Temporary Signs by the zoning ordinance.

• The standards for temporary signs in Bingham Township depend on the zoning district in which a property is in. See Bingham Township Zoning Map

• In the Agricultural and Residential Zoning Districts the following apply:

1. A Maximum of Two (2) total Temporary Signs (campaign signs) are allowed per parcel.
2. A Temporary (campaign) sign shall not be larger than three (3) square feet of sign area. (for example 24 x 18 = 3 square feet)

• Temporary Signs within any county or state right-of-way or easement must meet the requirements of the applicable road agency (ie, Michigan Department of Transportation or Leelanau County Road Commission)

• One should have the permission of a property owner to place a temporary sign on or in front of their property.
