Official:Amending Chapter 10-1200 of The Philadelphia Code ("Posting of Temporary Signs"), by amending Section 10-1207 ("Penalties") to revise the penalties applicable to the unlawful posting and placement of temporary signs, posters and stickers; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Mariano
Introduced: September 11, 2003
: Committee on Licenses and Inspections
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2000–2003 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill changes the penalties for putting up temporary signs in Philadelphia. People who break the rules will now face fines of up to $300 per sign or poster.
