In Samara from January 1, 2027 outdoor advertising will control the region

On November 10, 2026, the provincial Duma of the Samara region approved a bill on the transfer of powers in the field of outdoor advertising from the mayor’s office to the regional government.

The document successfully passed two readings in record time. The new rule gives public authorities the right to unrestrictedly manage the approval of schemes for the placement of structures, as well as to determine the permissible types and strict requirements for their appearance on the territory of the capital of the province.

Tight state control of the visual agitation market began more than 10 years ago due to the mass appearance of illegal objects, especially in the city center.

In 2014, these functions were assigned to the regional Ministry of Property Relations, but in 2015 they were returned to municipalities to improve efficiency. Now the reverse mechanism of centralization is launched, and the normative act itself will come into force from January 1, 2027 after mandatory signing by Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev.

It is worth noting that the administration of Samara has previously been deprived of authority in the field of urban planning policy. This decision was part of a large-scale administrative reform initiated by the head of the region to optimize the management of territorial development. Since then, this strategic sphere has been supervised exclusively by the relevant ministry of the regional government.
