Glenda 2112 asked:


Signs are left on highways, rural roads, and even tied to stop signs. Some realities leave these signs out without weed eating around them and sometimes forgetting where they left them. The signs should be on the property for sale. Taxpayers should not have to pay for weed eating or round up around Real Estate Signs.
