Action requiredReference

The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing has issued updated regulatory requirements for permanent and temporary promotional and advertising signage in Saudi cities, aimed at enhancing urban aesthetics and balancing visual appeal with commercial activity. The requirements establish precise standards aligned with the architectural character of each region and approved urban design guidelines, governing the use of signage on roads, buildings, and public facilities while accounting for safety and general appearance. The requirements mandate the removal of signage upon expiry of its licence or cancellation of the associated activity, and restoration of the site to its original condition. Advertisers and business owners are directed to access the full requirements through the Ministry's website or the Baladi platform.
