The consent forms that must be signed by owners of vacant property will be available on Monday, Aug. 2.
The UDC requires that candidates obtain these BEFORE posting a campaign sign on vacant lots.
If a sign has already been posted, it will be considered “legal” if permit is obtained by Friday, August 14.
The forms are at the city permit center on first floor of Government Plaza at 500 Travis Street.
There is no cost for the permit.
This area IS open to the public. Hours are 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Masks must be worn into the building and temperatures are taken at the door.
I will pick up a form Monday a.m. candidates may email me if desire a copy.
