How Long Can Temporary Advertising Stay Up in Colorado?

August 6, 2026

The short answer

There is no single statewide answer. How long an advertisement can stay up depends on the local jurisdiction's sign rules, the zoning of the property, and the terms of the campaign agreement.

Why it varies

Colorado municipalities set their own sign codes. Some treat wall advertising differently from temporary banners. Some distinguish between on-premise signage - advertising the business at that location - and off-premise advertising. Duration limits, size limits and permitting all follow from those distinctions.

What that means for a campaign

Campaign length is set per location. Before a campaign goes live, BTS Media reviews the applicable local requirements for that property. We do not claim that any location is permit-free or that any duration is automatically allowed.
