If that is on your property then most certainly yes, you can take it down. It would be good to somehow reach out to the person who built it. At the very least be sure to take a picture of it using your smart phone and post it here on the web site so that at least that tribute would stay around for as long as Roadside Tribute keeps running.

Since the State of Georgia does not have a tribute site program as does nearby Florida you are on your own to take the risk of setting one up. I am very sorry for your loss. Be sure to document what you place by taking a picture with your smart phone and then coming back here and creating a virtual tribute site. Jim Hill, founder, ROadside Tribute

I am not aware of a formal program offered by the State of Tennessee. You are then on your own to take the danger of building something. I recognize that many people do indeed build their own tribute sites. May God bless you through this terrible loss. I am hope that if you do get something placed there that you can place a virtual tribute here. Jim Hill, founder, Roadside Tribute.

I am not aware of a time limit for Missouri, but in Florida it is two years. I am thinking that there is a limit in Missouri, I will read the legislation on that. Jim Hill, Webmaster

The only formal roadside tribute marker program about which I am aware of in the State of Utah is the fallen law enforcement officer program. Have you heard of another program? Otherwise you are left taking the risk to build your own tribute. If you know of a tribute site, please register on here and upload it so once it gets taken down you at least have a memorial site.

I am not aware of any state laws in Utah regarding roadside tributes. People build these at their own risk on private and public property, including on trees, and they sometimes stay up for long periods. If one is placed in a location which creates a hazard it is generally removed by state, local or private people. If one is placed on personal property such as a tree it can also be taken down by the owner whenever they desire. Many times they are left alone though. Jim Hill, founder and webmaster

I just don’t know the answer to that question. Perhaps someone reading this will know regarding the laws in the State of Montana. Jim Hill, Webmaster

I am not aware of any formal program in the State of Massachusetts. That makes it so you have to go on your own to do something until the state makes a formal program as exists in Florida and Missouri.

James Hill

As far as I know, the State of Washington does not have a formal program. So you are on your own to take the risk and place something there.

Yes, especially in the State of Missouri where they can be provided by the State. Everyone has their reasons for building their own. Jim
