On April 21, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court decided City of Austin, Texas v. Reagan National Advertising of Austin, LLC, et al., No. 20-1029, holding that a city ordinance regulating offsite advertising is not subject to strict scrutiny under the First Amendment because the regulation is content-neutral.
Austin’s city code regulating outdoor advertisements distinguishes between signs that are physically on the premises of the place being advertised and “offsite signs” that are away from the premises being advertised.
