Clermont ended a sign permit moratorium last week by rolling out a new sign ordinance that complies with a 2015 U.S. Supreme Court ruling restricting governments from regulating sign content. “What we tried to do is push our ordinance to where we eliminate anything that’s arguably a content-based regulation for signs,” City Attorney David Syfan said. “Under the federal law, if you do content regulation, you have to show a compelling government interest in doing so, and that’s a very hard standard to meet,” he said.
