The Department of Transportation, Traffic & Parking manages all street banners in the city of New Haven.

The fee for hanging banners is $500 per installation/banner. Every installation guarantees a two-week display period. There is an extension fee of $500 for every two weeks of display after the initial two weeks.

Fee payment exemptions will be considered for select events where the sponsor of the banner is solely non-profit organizations and the event being advertised is free and open to the public and not advertising a program which will be at the cost of attendees.

All banner applications reviewed must meet the following criteria for consideration;

• At least one non-profit organization must sponsor any banner hanging. If the petitioning organization is not such a group, a secondary sponsoring non-profit must be listed.
• No more than eight square feet or ten percent, whichever is less, of the area of proposed banner(s) will be covered by for-profit names, representations or logos. The materials for the proposed banner(s) must conform to City standards as outlined in section 9-2 of the New Haven Book of Ordinances.

Notice: All banners must be designed to the below outlined specifications. Any banners that do not meet these specifications, pose a risk to public safety and will not be displayed.

Banner Application Form

The Banner Application Form must be filled out for each banner. Multiple banners/locations may not be submitted on the same application.

Please bear in mind if the location you were hoping for is not listed at the time of application this means it is already reserved during the time selected.
