I have a commercial property here in Florida on 301 and I'm interested in building/leasing out a billboard on the property.

I wanted to see if anyone has any experience in the outdoor advertising area. I would like go through the approvals/permitting process myself rather than land lease to an outdoor media company.

Is this going to be completely impossible or can it be done? Can most contractors find someone to build these or do I have to go with a special billboard construction company?

Anyone have any contacts in Florida I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Well, evidently the ability to put a billboard up is very contingent on the city code of ordinances. Unfortunately, I was just read that the city that I own property in has put a stop to allowing any more billboards or large " off premises" signs, which are basically commercial signs for businesses that do not occupy the property.

Oh well, it was worth a shot.
