Edmonton Non-Profit Signs

In Edmonton, non-profit organizations also need to follow certain regulations when it comes to displaying signs. While the rules may be a bit more flexible compared to commercial signage, there are still specific guidelines to ensure safety, fairness, and compliance with city bylaws.

Permit Requirements

Sign Permits: Non-profit organizations may still need to obtain a permit to display signs, especially if they are large, placed on public property, or illuminated.

However, some non-profit signs may qualify for exemptions or reduced fees, depending on the type of event or purpose of the sign.

Signs placed on private property (such as on a church or charity building) may not need a permit if they meet certain size and location restrictions.

Size and Placement Regulations

Size Restrictions: Non-profit signs generally need to comply with size limits set by the city. For portable signs, this is often around 5 square meters (54 square feet).

Public vs. Private Property: Non-profit signs can be placed on private property with the owner’s permission. Signs on public property may require a permit and must adhere to specific guidelines.

Distance from Intersections: Just like other portable signs, non-profit signs must be set a certain distance from intersections (30 meters from signalized and 15 meters from unsignalized).

Types of Signs Allowed

Portable Signs: Non-profits can use portable signs to advertise events or campaigns. These signs are often used for short-term purposes like fundraising events, community activities, or educational campaigns.

Banner Signs: Banners are allowed for non-profits as long as they comply with size restrictions and are securely fastened.

Temporary Signs: Non-profits often use temporary signs to announce events such as food drives, charity runs, or festivals. These signs may be allowed without a permit for a limited duration.

Election Signs: If a non-profit is participating in election activities (such as endorsing candidates or running advocacy campaigns), they must follow specific rules for election signs, including size, placement, and duration limits.

Duration of Display

Temporary Use: Non-profit signs are typically allowed for a short period, often linked to a specific event or campaign. This duration can be 90 days or less, depending on the type of sign and its purpose.

Extended Use: For longer campaigns or ongoing events, non-profits may need to apply for permit renewals or comply with restrictions on how long the signs can remain in place.
