Public Banner and Signboard Process

The City of American Canyon’s Banner and Signboard Process establishes clear, uniform, and viewpoint-neutral guidelines for displaying banners and signage on designated public property. For this program, all banners and signage are collectively defined as “displays”. Under these standards, displays promoting community events, civic initiatives, parks and recreation activities, and local partnerships are permitted. This program ensures that all displays enhance public spaces, adhere to city standards, and reflect the values of our community.
