  If it’s in the town/city then the local authority will require a planning submission. A ground survey will be required to ensure it doesn’t impact on any services…and some other details.
  Highway / route… It’ll be a road authority school as BEAR that you’ll need to liaise with to ensure they just don’t remove it as a non-authorised sign.

  Standard poles in town…. generally want the newer collapsing/shear type next to a high speed route.

  In a field…see owner, less problematic that a .gov

  Certainly from what Ive seen whilst traveling I would suggest making the sign moveable so either on a trailer or in some way not a permanent fixture as it has less implications so long as the land owner is happy otherwise like Dave mentions planning, survey, permissions etc.
