How far apart do billboards have to be in Georgia?
Georgia requires at least 500 feet between signs on the same side of an interstate and 300 feet on other qualifying highways (O.C.G.A. §32-6-75), and local zoning can add stricter rules. Spacing is what makes a legal billboard location scarce — and scarcity is leverage in your negotiation.
