The Roswell City Council held a special called meeting recently to address concerns from the city attorney about recent arguments heard or ruled on by United States Supreme Court regarding sign ordinances.

Some 20 years ago a prior version of Roswell’s sign ordinance was declared unconstitutional causing several billboards to be allowed prior to a legal rewrite of the ordinance.

To avoid any future legal action, the city council voted to adopt a temporary 90-day moratorium on the acceptance of ground sign permit applications for all properties within the city while they review the city’s existing ordinance.
