Sign Rules for Wake County Municipalities: Although all municipalities except Wake Forest prohibit balloons on signs, balloons at the property for sale attached to the sign are usually permitted. If the sign is too close the road, the municipality’s code enforcement officer might ask you to the move the ballooned-sign farther back from the road, so as not to distract drivers. The City of Raleigh, Town of Cary and Town of Apex all regularly enforce their sign ordinances on the weekend.
