Looking to advertise your business, a home for sale, a political campaign, or even a local event like a garage sale? A yard sign may be the perfect solution.
Yard signs, also known as lawn signs, are small signs that are placed on street-facing lawns. They’re a great way to share a short message on your own lawn, on the lawn of your business, or even on the lawns of friends, families, supporters, and neighbours (with their permission, of course).
We offer custom yard signs in Ottawa and the surrounding area; if you’re looking for signs in Ottawa, contact us today!
Lawn Sign Specifications
Lawn signs are smaller than billboards or storefront signage—this means that messages and images need to be concise and simple to avoid cluttering the sign. 24” x 18” / 60.9 x 45.7 cm is one of the most popular lawn sign formats; other yard sign formats include:
- 18” x 12” / 45.7 cm x 30.5 cm
- 18” x 24” / 45.7 cm x 60.9 cm
- 24” x 24” / 60.9 cm x 60.9 cm
- 36” x 24” / 91.4 cm x 60.9 cm
Going any larger will lead to signs that are too big for most yards, though larger yard signs are theoretically possible—it all depends on your goals.
The City of Ottawa places a limit of 8.85 feet / 2.7 m in height for any temporary sign, and all temporary signs must be structurally safe, in good repair, have no dimensions that exceed 7.9 feet / 2.4 m, and not exceed 39.8 square feet / 3.7 square metres in area. You can learn more from the City of Ottawa’s Temporary Signs on Private Property page, which governs the rules surrounding yard signs in the city.

Lawn Sign Uses
In Ottawa, no permit is required to put up temporary signs for elections, real estate, or charitable, cultural, or religious reasons. Want to make yard signs for birthdays you’re celebrating? Congratulations lawn signs for kids graduating from high school, or yard signs for your local bowling team’s victory? These can all fall under the domain of cultural events, so you shouldn’t need a permit.
Election Signs
Election signs are incredibly popular—they’re an excellent way for politicians and people affiliated with political causes to raise awareness. They’re also a great way for supporters to show their support! We offer custom yard signs for elections—our signs can be designed to feature your party’s branding, your name, political slogans, and more.
For Sale Signs
“For Sale” signs are some of the yard signs you’ll see most often—and our signs offer easy setup, custom branding, and more. They’re a great way to advertise a location you’re trying to sell—and to show people your success once that location is sold. Visit our real estate signs page to learn more.
