Every candidate that files is given a packet that has the campaign sign regulations. If signs are in violation of the sign regulations they will be removed by Public Works Department. Removed signs will be at the salt shed at the Public Works building located at 8635 West Point Douglas Road. Please direct complaints to Public Works 651-458-2808.
City Code
Minnesota Statutes, Cottage Grove City Code, Washington County Highway Department, and the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation all regulate the placement of signs promoting the candidacy of a person running for governmental office.
