If it blows in the wind, can it still be considered a sign?
As Longboat Key Town Code is currently written, no, according to Planning, Zoning and Building Director Allen Parsons. Those vertical banners anchored into the ground by a metal pole commonly known as feather flag banners or angled flag banners are not prohibited by the town’s sign code. They are treated as flags by code enforcement, and town code allows for one flag per premises as long as it is not in the right-of-way.
