Matteson considers for sale sign ban ordinance
Matteson village trustees studied an ordinance restricting for sale and related signs on existing single family homes. Drafted by village attorney Joseph Perozzi, the measure mirrors Hazel Crest and Country Club Hills rules and would use the model fair housing ordinance to avoid delays. Violations could incur fines from ten to two hundred ninety dollars, with warnings and housing court appearances for noncompliance.
