Code Enforcement Reminder

I would like to take this opportunity to remind all residents that the posting of any type of sign on utility poles, street signs, or any Borough Right-Of-Way is strictly prohibited. All garage sale and estate sales require a permit from the Building Department. You can obtain the permit from stopping in at the Borough Hall or obtaining it on line at www.montvale.org. There is no charge for this permit. There has recently been a plethora of various signs posted on utility poles seeking the return of a lost pet or an impending garage sale. Being a pet owner myself, I shudder to think how I would feel if it was my pet that was lost and my heart goes out to those who experience that loss. Please be advised that any and all such signs will be removed.  The posting of these signs leads to garbage on the streets and utility poles covered with unsightly signs at well-traveled intersections. As for garage sale signs, these are permitted to be posted as per section 45A-5 of the Montvale Code but are prohibited from being posted on utility poles. I would appreciate the cooperation of all residents so that we can keep Montvale looking clean.

Spring is here and if you are cleaning out or moving remember that storage PODs require a permit from the Building Department.
