Renting or leasing the property doesn't change the character of the property; it's still government-owned, so 30.06 signs are unenforceable.

The Code focuses on who owns the property, not who is in control of the property.pmg47 wrote:They rent the site for the show, so they can post it, as I am sure it will be posted at the front door.
