Mississauga City Council enacted the Public Nuisance By-law 0222-2008, to declare signs and advertising devices illegally placed on city road allowances as matters of public nuisances. According to this By-law, residents can be delegated the power to remove illegal nuisance signs within the City upon entering into an appropriate agreement with the City.
The Nuisance Sign Removal Program - The by-law gives residents the power to remove nuisance signs from city streets if they sign an agreement with the City. If you are an adult resident of Mississauga and you are interested in removing nuisance signs from your community, you can register with the Nuisance Sign Removal Program.
If you would like more information on the Public Nuisance By-law or the Nuisance Sign Removal Program, please call 3-1-1 or visit Nuisance Signs at www.mississsauga.ca
