FAQs

• Do I have to pay for the yard sign?
  • No. The sign and installation are provided at no cost to homeowners.
• Where in my yard will DOEE install the yard sign?
  • Areas of yard that are visible from public space (e.g. a sidewalk) are ideal, preferably near an installed RiverSmart Homes feature, although not necessary. DOEE will consult with the homeowner on the location if present for installation.
• Can I install the yard sign on my own?
  • The signage materials will be dropped off at your home if you indicate this option in your application. You may install the yard sign on your own as long as it is installed in your front yard and reasonably visible from the street.
    
    Materials you will need (that will not be provided) to install the yard sign are: a screwdriver, a hammer or a rubber mallet, pliers (optional), and a constructional level (optional)
