County Aims to Change Sign Rules

(KLIX)-Twin Falls County is aiming to update some of its ordinances h dealing with signs. The hope is to modernize the current rules that affect billboards, commercial, residential as well as signs for home businesses. County Planning and Zoning Administrator Rick Dunn says the current process to get a sign up takes some time and requires a conditional use permit. By simplifying the process it would make it easier for people in the county to get a permit for things like wall signs and free standing signs. P&Z is also looking to make it easier for the home business owner. Dunn says there will still be criteria that will need to be met, but the goal is to make it easier and take less time. The county has held several open house meetings seeking feedback from the community. People can comment by going to www.twinfallscounty.org
