City Election Sign LimitationsCity Election Sign Limitations
With the election season in full swing the Denver Community Planning and Development office has provided a summary of limitations concerning election, real estate & temporary commercial signs. Listed below are a few of the general guidelines.
◗ Election signs are limited to posting on private property and only with the owner's consent.
◗ Election signs cannot be placed on the public right of way. To be certain that you are not placing signs on the right of way, don't place them on the tree lawn between the curb and the sidewalk and keep them at least 3 feet back from the sidewalk.
◗ No sign shall exceed an area of 8 square feet. Signs must be maintained in a clean, orderly and sightly condition.
Because of a recent court decision, properties are no longer limited on the total number of signs or per yard and per candidate.

Denver Aging Steering Committee Releases Final Report
On December 14, 2007 the Denver Aging Steering Committee released a Final Report to address the needs of the Denver elderly population and to provide insight on preparing for the “silver tsunami.” This “silver tsunami”—77 million Americans, born between 1946 and 1964—will accelerate at warp speed the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population. By 2020, the number of adults 60 years and older is expected to double from 12 to 20 percent of the population in Denver as well as the rest of the country. Growing at an even faster rate is those aged 85 and older—expected to increase by 60 percent between 2030 and 2040 alone – who are most likely to need the support of family, friends and the community to remain living independently.
