We are receiving a lot of questions regarding billboards on Lewisville-Clemmons Road. 

In June 2019, a company called Visible Properties applied to the Village of Clemmons for a permit to set up a digital billboard. Clemmons denied the sign permit, and the request was then presented to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for approval. The Zoning Board denied the permit, Visible sued, and a trial judge upheld Clemmons’ decision in December 2020. Visible Properties appealed the decision and despite Clemmons’ rigorous argument against the digital billboard, the appellate judges ruled in favor of Visible Properties.

The two billboards on Lewisville-Clemmons Road were applied for and permitted due to the court order and renovation stipulations.

The Village of Clemmons has taken action by rewriting the Ordinance to provide more clarity to all of the rules regarding signs. The Ordinance revision includes a clear ban on all off-premise billboard type signs throughout the Village. The Public Hearing regarding the sign ordinance will resume on Monday, May 8th at the regularly scheduled Council Meeting at 6PM. 
Any person wishing to address Town Council during the general public comment period may physically sign up in person at the meeting. If you are unable to attend and speak during the meeting, you may use this form to submit a digital public comment. These submissions are not intended to be discussed at the meetings. It is not necessary to pre-submit digital comments in addition to comments made during the meeting.
It is our goal to continue keeping the lines of communication open between the Village and residents. We would like to encourage you to share this announcement with your friends, colleagues, and neighbors.
