March 14, 2022 3:30 a.m.

With campaign signs going up for the May Primary Election, the City of Roseburg is asking candidates to follow Oregon state law and Roseburg Municipal Code when placing those signs.

A release said campaign signs can be displayed through May 20th, three days after the election.

Campaign signs must adhere to these rules:

*Signs must not be placed on sidewalks or any other public right-of-way. That is generally from the street to the property line.

*Signs should be no more than 32 square feet, with the entire campaign message contained on one sign.

*Permission from the property owner is required to post signs on private property.

*Signs are not allowed on or within: public parks, utility poles, bridges or other scenic areas; or fences, trees or other publicly posted signs

The release said campaign signs placed in violation of the rules will be removed and stored at the Roseburg Public Works Shop at 425 Northeast Fulton Street for 10 days to give owners time to collect them. Signs will be discarded after that time.
