Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(225 ILCS 440/6.01) (from Ch. 121, par. 506.01)
Sec. 6.01.
Size of signs.
No sign may be erected which exceeds 1,200 square feet in
area, 30 feet in height and 60 feet in length, including border and trim, but
excluding ornamental base or apron, supports and other structural members.
Except with respect to the repair, rebuilding, or replacement of any sign
lawfully erected before January 1, 1993, no sign may be erected after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1992 in any county with a population
under 2,000,000 that exceeds 800 square feet in area, excluding extensions and
cut-outs; the extensions and cut-outs may account for no more than an
additional 20% in sign surface area. The maximum size limitation shall apply to
each side of a sign or sign structure. A maximum of 2 signs may be erected in a
facing, in which event the facing shall be deemed to be one sign, the size of
which may not exceed the dimensions listed in this Section. Signs may be double
faced or be placed back to back or V-type
or triangular, provided that the angle between
sign
faces shall not exceed 90 degrees.
The area shall be measured by the
smallest square, rectangle, triangle, circle or combination thereof which will
encompass the entire sign.
