In response to an increasing number of complaints regarding compliance with Hot Springs Village policies, Planning and Inspections staff is working extra hours to deal with the proliferation of temporary signs that clutter Hot Springs Village’s rights-of-way.
There are set procedures for signs within Hot Springs Village. Garage/Yard/Moving Signs cannot exceed 144 square inches (example: 12” x 12”) and can be erected one day prior to the sale and must be removed after the sale is concluded.
Signs must be staked into the ground, not attached to cardboard boxes or buckets. The boxes blow away in the wind and end up in the road or as trash on the side of our streets. No sign of any kind can be attached to a POA street sign post.
Special event signs cannot exceed 24” wide x 36” high and can be erected 5 days prior to the event and must be removed within 24 hours after completion of event.
The POA will remove all signs that do not conform to Hot Springs Village policy.
A complete copy of the sign procedure is available in the Planning & Inspections Department at 895 DeSoto Boulevard. If you have any questions, please contact 501.922.5562.
Additionally, the POA has developed a systematic, pro-active code enforcement initiative. In short, utilizing existing inspection personnel, staff will:
• Visually inspect all properties;
• Upon identifying a code violation (as presently defined by the respective property maintenance codes adopted by Garland and Saline Counties; or ACC guidelines), will immediately convey a “courtesy notice” identifying the violation, a time in which to abate and the date of re-inspection;
• Upon re-inspection, and failing to abate, issue a formal written notice of violation, delivered to both the property owner and resident; again identifying the violation, time to abate and date of re-inspection;
• Upon re-inspection, and continuing failure to abate, proceed with the issuance of a citation for adjudication in the respective County Court.
