Nonconforming Signs

In the broader context of real estate and zoning regulations, nonconforming uses are common. Nonconforming billboards are legal, but do not conform to land-use rules that have changed.

The federal Highway Beautification Act (HBA) delegates to states to establish standards for maintenance, repair, and relocation. Therefore, state standards vary. In 1992, Congress clarified that states may use federal highway funds to remove nonconforming billboards, but are under no federal obligation to do so. As a practical matter, states choose not to spend their resources for this purpose.
