Unauthorised lettering and banners on a building facade — disfiguring the appearance of Tbilisi (Art. 150²)

What is the fine for an unauthorised banner on a facade?

For the basic offence — 1,000 GEL; on repetition — 2,000 GEL; on the building of an administrative body — 2,000 GEL, on repetition 3,000 GEL; in a cultural heritage zone — 2,000 GEL, on repetition 3,500 GEL.

What does a „designated place“ mean?

A place specially set aside for posters, slogans or banners. Placement in an undesignated place is punishable under this very article.

What happens if I do not remove the banner within 10 days?

Non-correction entails a separate fine of 1,000 GEL — timely removal is therefore the economical choice.

Is abandoning a fence unpainted also punishable?

Yes — the abandonment of fences and buildings unpainted is part of the first composition and is fined 1,000 GEL.
