Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Business Lamar Advertising Company (the Company) is engaged in the outdoor advertising business, operating approximately 156,900 billboard advertising displays in 45 states and Canada. The Company’s operating strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor advertising services in the markets it serves. In addition, the Company operates a logo sign business in 23 states throughout the United States and the province of Ontario, Canada and operates approximately 53,300 transit advertising displays in 22 states and Canada. Logo signs are erected pursuant to state-awarded service contracts on public rights-of-way near highway exits and deliver brand name information on available gas, food, lodging and camping services. Included in the Company’s logo sign business are tourism signing contracts. The Company provides transit advertising in airport terminals, on bus shelters, benches and buses in the markets it serves. The Company operates as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income and gains that the Company distributes to its stockholders, including the income derived from advertising rental revenue. However, even as a REIT, the Company will remain obligated to pay income taxes on earnings from the assets of its taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). In addition, the Company’s foreign assets and operations continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or those operations are conducted. (b) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Lamar Advertising Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp. (Lamar Media), and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. An operating segment is a component of an enterprise: • that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; • whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and • for which discrete financial information is available. We define the term ‘chief operating decision maker’ to be our executive management group, which consist of our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer. Currently, all operations are reviewed on a consolidated basis for budget and business plan performance by our executive management group. Additionally, operational performance at the end of each reporting period is viewed in the aggregate by our management group. Any decisions related to changes in invested capital, personnel, operational improvement or training, or to allocate other company resources are made based on the combined results. We operate in a single operating and reporting segment, advertising. We rent advertising space on billboards, buses, shelters, benches, logo plates and in airport terminals. (c) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. (d) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test. The Company designated December 31 as the date of its annual goodwill impairment test. The Company is required to identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit. The Company has identified two reporting units, Billboard operations and Logo operations, by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. The Company is required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company would be required to book an impairment loss. The Company conducts a qualitative assessment by examining relevant events and circumstances which could have a negative impact on the Company’s goodwill, which includes macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, reporting unit dispositions and acquisitions, the market capitalization of the Company and other relevant events specific to the Company. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances described above, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of either of the Company's reporting units is less than its carrying amount, the Company will perform a quantitative impairment test. If industry and economic conditions deteriorate, the Company may be required to assess goodwill impairment before the next annual test, which could result in impairment charges. The Company performed its annual measurement for impairment of the goodwill of its reporting units and concluded the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount at its annual impairment test date on December 31, 2018 and 2017; therefore, the Company was not required to recognize an impairment loss. Intangible assets, consisting primarily of site locations, customer lists and contracts, and non-competition agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives, generally from 2 to 15 years. (e) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group before interest expense. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. (f) Acquisitions The Company accounts for transactions that meet the definition of a business and group asset purchases as acquisitions. For transactions that meet the definition of a business combination, the Company allocates the purchase price, including any contingent consideration, to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition with any excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. For transactions that meet the definition of asset group purchases, the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. If a transaction is determined to be a group of assets, any direct acquisition costs are capitalized. Transaction costs for transactions determined to be a business combination are expensed as incurred. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is typically determined by using either estimates of replacement costs or discounted cash flow valuation methods. When determining the fair value of tangible assets acquired, the Company must estimate the cost to replace the asset with a new asset, adjusted for an estimated reduction in fair value due to age of the asset, and the economic useful life. When determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company must estimate the applicable discount rate and the timing and amount of future cash flows. The determination of the final purchase price and the acquisition-date fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed may extend over more than one period and result in adjustments to the preliminary estimate recognized in the prior period financial statements. Effective October 1, 2016, the Company changed its accounting for business combinations, as further discussed in note 21 to the consolidated financial statements. (g) Deferred Income Deferred income consists principally of advertising revenue invoiced in advance. Deferred advertising revenue is recognized in income over the term of the contract. (h) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes outdoor advertising revenue on an accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts. Production revenue and the related expense for the advertising copy are recognized upon satisfaction of its performance obligation. The Company engages in barter transactions where the Company trades advertising space for goods and services. The Company recognizes revenues and expenses from barter transactions at fair value, which is determined based on the Company’s own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising space from buyers unrelated to the party in the barter transaction. The amount of revenue and expense recognized for advertising barter transactions is as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Net revenues $ 8,955 $ 8,469 $ 8,051 Direct advertising expenses $ 3,633 $ 3,603 $ 3,559 General and administrative expenses $ 4,758 $ 4,332 $ 4,067 (i) Income Taxes As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to federal income taxes on income and gains distributed to the Company’s stockholders. However, the Company remains obligated to pay income taxes on earnings from domestic TRSs. In addition, the Company’s foreign assets and operations continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or where those operations are conducted, including those designated as Qualified REIT Subsidiaries, or QRSs, for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect provisions for federal, state, local and foreign income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. (j) Dividends/Distributions As a REIT, the Company must annually distribute to its stockholders an amount equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for distributed earnings and excluding any net capital gain). During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid cash distributions of its REIT taxable income in an aggregate amount of $442,632 or $4.48 per share. The distributions paid during 2018 include distributions declared and accrued as of December 31, 2017 of $81,534 or $0.83 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company declared distributions of $325,462 or $3.32 per share, including paid distributions of $243,928 or $2.49 per share. During the year ended 2016, the Company declared and paid distributions of its REIT taxable income of an aggregate of $293,600 or $3.02 per share. The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will be declared based upon various factors, a number of which may be beyond the Company’s control, including the financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income and excise taxes that the Company otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in its existing and future debt instruments, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses (“NOLs”) to offset, in whole or in part, the Company’s distribution requirements, limitations on its ability to fund distributions using cash generated through its TRSs and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid cash dividend distributions to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount of $456 or $79.75 per share, including $91, or $15.95 per share, related to distributions declared in 2017. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company accrued or paid cash dividend distributions to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock of $365 or $63.80 per share. (k) Earnings Per Share The calculation of basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options, while diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 there were no dilutive shares excluded from the calculation. (l) Stock Based Compensation Compensation expense for share-based awards is recognized based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards on a straight-line basis, which is generally commensurate with the vesting term. Non-cash compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 were $29,443, $9,599 and $28,560, respectively. The $29,443 expensed during the year ended December 31, 2018 consists of (i) $3,644 related to stock options, (ii) $25,427 related to stock grants made under the Company’s performance-based stock incentive program in 2018 and (iii) $372 related to stock awards to directors. See Note 15 for information on the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation. (m) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. (n) Foreign Currency Translation Local currencies generally are considered the functional currencies outside the United States. Assets and liabilities for operations in local-currency environments are translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and as a component of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. (o) Asset Retirement Obligations The Company is required to record the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. The liability is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset’s carrying amount. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate primarily to the dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its leased properties. (p) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (q) Comprehensive Income Total comprehensive income is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and the components of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income (loss) is composed of foreign currency translation effects. (r) Fair Value Measurements The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. (s) Subsequent Events The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date on which the financial statements are issued. (t) Reclassification of prior amounts Certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. |

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenues | (2) Revenue On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Codified as ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers Leases A majority of our billboard, logo, and transit space contracts are accounted for under ASC 840 and will continue to be accounted for under the topic until January 1, 2019, our adoption date of ASU No. 2016-02 (Codified as ASC 842), Leases Revenue Revenue Recognition Advertising revenues : The majority of our revenues are derived from contracts for advertising space on billboard, logo and transit displays and are currently accounted for under ASC 840, . Upon the Company’s adoption of ASC 842, the majority of our contracts for advertising space will transition to being accounted for under ASC 606, The contract revenues, under ASC 840, and ASC 606, , are recognized ratably over their contract life. Other revenues: Our other component of revenue primarily consists of production services which includes creating and printing the advertising copy. As of January 1, 2018 revenue for production contracts is recognized under ASC 606. Contract revenues for production services are recognized upon satisfaction of the contract which is typically less than one week. Arrangements with multiple performance obligations: Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers using expected cost plus margin. Deferred revenues: We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance obligation. The term between invoicing and when a payment is due is not significant. For certain services we require payment before the product or services are delivered to the customer. The balance of deferred income is considered short-term and will be recognized in revenue within twelve months. Practical expedients and exemptions: Upon our transition to ASC 606 from ASC 840, the Company plans to utilize the following practical expedients and exemptions from ASC 606. We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within direct advertising expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as the majority of our contracts with customers have an original expected length of less than one year. For contracts with customers which exceed one year, the future amount to be invoiced to the customer corresponds directly with the value to be received by the customer. The following table presents our disaggregated revenue by source including both revenues accounted for under ASC 840 and ASC 606 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. 2018 2017 2016 Billboard Advertising $ 1,412,978 $ 1,340,422 $ 1,311,861 Logo Advertising 84,424 82,936 80,533 Transit Advertising 129,820 117,902 107,900 Net Revenues $ 1,627,222 $ 1,541,260 $ 1,500,294 |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | (3) Acquisitions Year Ended December 31, 2018 During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company completed several acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of $489,671, net of acquired cash of $8,554. The total purchase price consisted of the issuance of 163,137 shares of its Class A common stock for $12,282 and cash of $477,389. The purchases included the acquisition of assets in five U.S markets from Fairway Outdoor Advertising (“Fairway”) on December 21, 2018 for an aggregate purchase price of $418,500. As of December 31, 2018, our fair value allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Fairway is considered preliminary and is subject to revision, which may result in adjustments to this allocation. We expect to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but not later than the end of 2019. In order to develop our preliminary fair values, the Company utilized asset information received from Fairway and fair value allocation benchmarks from similar completed transactions. Our preliminary allocation of Fairway includes property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill of $91,173, $156,319 and $182,117, respectively. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition costs have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair market value at the dates of acquisition. The following is a summary of the allocation of the acquisition costs in the above transactions, excluding the preliminary allocation of Fairway. Total Property, plant and equipment $ 8,648 Site locations 57,105 Non-competition agreements 342 Customer lists and contracts 6,521 Asset acquisition costs 336 Current assets 1,041 Current liabilities (355 ) $ 73,638 Total acquired intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $402,740, of which $182,117 was assigned to goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized for financial statement purposes, and no goodwill related to 2018 acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The remaining $220,623 of acquired intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 14 years. The intangible assets include customer lists and contracts of $33,310 (7 year weighted average useful life) and site locations of $186,635 (15 year weighted average useful life). The aggregate amortization expense related to the 2018 acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $2,681. The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the Company gives effect to the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017. These pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have resulted had the acquisitions occurred on such date or to project the Company’s results of operations for any future period. 2018 2017 (unaudited) Net revenues $ 1,699,052 $ 1,647,445 Net income applicable to common stock $ 299,493 $ 306,900 Net income per common share — basic $ 3.03 $ 3.13 Net income per common share — diluted $ 3.02 $ 3.12 Year Ended December 31, 2017 During the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the Company completed several acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of $300,185, of which $297,305 was in cash and $2,880 in non-cash consideration consisting principally of exchanges of outdoor advertising assets. As a result of the acquisitions, a gain of $2,389 was recorded for transactions which involved the exchanges of outdoor advertising assets during the year ended December 31, 2017. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition costs have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair market value at the dates of acquisition. The following is a summary of the allocation of the acquisition costs in the above transactions. Total Property, plant and equipment $ 43,483 Goodwill 13,925 Site locations 216,510 Non-competition agreements 826 Customer lists and contracts 26,397 Asset acquisition costs 529 Current assets 3,583 Current liabilities (1,733 ) Long–term liabilities (3,335 ) $ 300,185 Total acquired intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $258,187, of which $13,925 was assigned to goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized for financial statement purposes, and no goodwill related to 2017 acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The remaining $244,262 of acquired intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 14 years. The intangible assets include customer lists and contracts of $26,397 (7 year weighted average useful life) and site locations of $216,510 (15 year weighted average useful life). The aggregate amortization expense related to the 2017 acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2017 was approximately $6,106.

Lamar Media borrowed all $450,000 in Term A loans on May 15, 2017. The net proceeds of the Term A loans, together with borrowing under the revolving portion of senior credit facility and cash on hand, were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the existing senior credit facility, and all revolving commitments under that facility were terminated. On March 16, 2018, Lamar Media entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 15, 2017, which amended the existing senior credit facility to establish a new $600,000 Term B Loan Facility (the “Term B loan”), which will mature on March 16, 2025. Lamar Media borrowed the full amount of the Term B loan on March 16, 2018. The proceeds from the Term B loan, together with available cash on hand were used to redeem in full Lamar Media’s 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022. As of December 31, 2018, the senior credit facility consisted of (i) the revolving credit facility, (ii) the Term A loans, (iii) the Term B loans and (iv) the Incremental Facility. The Term A loans mature on May 15, 2022 and the Term B loans mature on March 16, 2025. The remaining quarterly installments are scheduled to be paid on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 as follows: Principal Payment Date Term A Term B March 31, 2019-June 30, 2019 $ 5,625 $ 1,500 September 30, 2019-June 30, 2020 $ 8,438 $ 1,500 September 30, 2020-March 31, 2022 $ 16,875 $ 1,500 Term A Loan Maturity May 15, 2022 $ 253,125 $ — June 30, 2022-December 31, 2024 $ — $ 1,500 Term B Loan Maturity March 16, 2025 $ — $ 559,500 The Term loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar term loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate term loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75%; (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1 for Term A loans only). Base Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.75% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1 for Term A loans only). The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar revolving loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate revolving loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.25% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.00% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1; or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). Base Rate revolving Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.25% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.0% at any time the total debt ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1, or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). The guarantees, covenants, events of default and other terms of the senior credit facility apply to the Term A and B loans and revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2018, there was $280,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Availability under the revolving facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $13,183 letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2018 resulting in $156,817 of availability under its revolving facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to its maturity on May 15, 2022. The terms of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media to: • dispose of assets; • incur or repay debt; • create liens; • make investments; and • pay dividends. The senior credit facility contains provisions that would allow Lamar Media to conduct its affairs in a manner that would allow Lamar Advertising to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, including by allowing Lamar Media to make distributions to Lamar Advertising required for the Company to qualify and remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, subject to certain restrictions. Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility the Company must maintain a specified senior debt ratio at all times and in addition, must satisfy a total debt ratio in order to incur debt, make distributions or make certain investments. Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media were in compliance with all of the terms of their indentures and the applicable senior credit agreement provisions during the periods presented. Accounts Receivable Securitization Program On December 18, 2018 Lamar Media entered into a $175,000 Receivable Financing Agreement (the “AR Program”) with its wholly-owned special purpose entities, Lamar QRS Receivables, LLC and Lamar TRS Receivables, LLC (the “Special Purpose Subsidiaries”) maturing on December 17, 2021. The AR Program is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the AR Program. Pursuant to two separate Purchase and Sale Agreements dated December 18, 2018, each of which is among Lamar Media as initial Servicer, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries and a Special Purpose Subsidiary, the subsidiaries sold substantially all of their existing and future accounts receivable balances to the Special Purpose Subsidiaries. The Special Purpose Subsidiaries use the accounts receivable balances to collateralize loans pursuant to the AR Program. Lamar Media retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral under the AR Program and provides a performance guaranty. As of December 31, 2018 there was $175,000 outstanding on the AR Program bearing interest at approximately 3.4%. Proceeds from the AR Program were used primarily to repay outstanding amounts under our revolving credit facility. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Program was immaterial in 2018. The AR Program is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the pledged accounts receivable and interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, due 2022 (the “5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $489,000. The Company used the proceeds from the Term B loans to redeem all of the 5 7/8% Notes on March 19, 2018 at a redemption price of 101.958% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5 7/8% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date. In conjunction with the redemption the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $15,429, of which $9,790 was cash, for the year ended December 31, 2018. 5% Senior Subordinated Notes On October 30, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $535,000 aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “5% Senior Subordinated Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $527,100. Lamar Media may redeem the 5% Senior Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, in cash at redemption prices specified in the 5% Senior Subordinated Notes. In addition, if the Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 5% Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 5% Senior Subordinated Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the repurchase date. 5 3/8% Senior Notes On January 10, 2014, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $510,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/8% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “5 3/8% Senior Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $502,300. At any time prior to January 15, 2019, Lamar Media may redeem some or all of the 5 3/8% Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and a make-whole premium. On or after January 15, 2019, Lamar Media may redeem the 5 3/8% Senior Notes, in whole or in part, in cash at redemption prices specified in the 5 3/8% Senior Notes. In addition, if the Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 5 3/8% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 5 3/8% Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the repurchase date. 5 3/4% Senior Notes On January 28, 2016, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “5 3/4 % Senior Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $394,500. Lamar Media may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5 3/4% Senior Notes, at any time and from time to time, at a price equal to 105.750% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, with the net cash proceeds of certain public equity offerings completed before February 1, 2019, provided that following the redemption, at least 65% of the 5 3/4% Senior Notes that were originally issued remain outstanding and any such redemption occurs within 120 days following the closing of any such public equity offering. At any time prior to February 1, 2021, Lamar Media may redeem some or all of the 5 3/4% Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus a make-whole premium. On or after February 1, 2021, Lamar Media may redeem the 5 3/4% Senior Notes, in whole or in part, in cash at redemption prices specified in the 5 3/4% Senior Notes. In addition, if the Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 5 3/4% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 5 3/4% Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the repurchase date. |

Income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following: Current Deferred Total Year ended December 31, 2018: U.S. federal $ 4,952 $ 435 $ 5,387 State and local 2,615 (123 ) 2,492 Foreign 1,592 1,226 2,818 $ 9,159 $ 1,538 $ 10,697 Year ended December 31, 2017: U.S. federal $ 4,174 $ 359 $ 4,533 State and local 2,706 (170 ) 2,536 Foreign 1,546 615 2,161 $ 8,426 $ 804 $ 9,230 Year ended December 31, 2016: U.S. federal $ 9,518 $ (935 ) $ 8,583 State and local 2,681 (6 ) 2,675 Foreign 1,500 598 2,098 $ 13,699 $ (343 ) $ 13,356 As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had income taxes (payable) receivable of $(458) and $3,106, respectively. The U.S. and foreign components of earnings before income taxes are as follows: 2018 2017 2016 U.S. $ 317,695 $ 332,607 $ 313,429 Foreign (1,766 ) (5,701 ) (1,264 ) Total $ 315,929 $ 326,906 $ 312,165 A reconciliation of significant differences between the reported amount of income tax expense and the expected amount of income tax expense that would result from applying the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent to income before taxes for the 2018 tax year and 35 percent for the 2017 and 2016 tax years, is as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Income tax expense at U.S. federal statutory rate $ 66,345 $ 114,417 $ 109,257 Tax adjustment related to REIT (a) (63,669 ) (109,294 ) (101,868 ) State and local income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 1,461 1,193 1,481 Book expenses not deductible for tax purposes 1,926 2,635 2,465 Stock-based compensation 1,090 (121 ) 169 Valuation allowance (b) 3,813 3,953 2,340 Rate change (c) (80 ) (466 ) (19 ) Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries (d) (393 ) 1,363 — Minimum tax credit refundable (e) — (4,108 ) — Other differences, net (f) 204 (342 ) (469 ) Income tax expense $ 10,697 $ 9,230 $ 13,356 (a) Includes dividend paid deduction of $69,818, $110,442 and $102,888 for the tax years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. (b) For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, a non-cash valuation allowance of $3,813, $3,953 and $2,340, respectively, was recorded to income tax expense due to our limited ability to utilize Puerto Rico deferred tax assets in future years. (c) Under the TCJA, the U.S. corporate income tax rate was lowered from 35% to 21%. As a result, a non-cash benefit of $466 to income tax expense was recorded for the reduction of the U.S. net deferred tax liability for the year ended December 31, 2017. (d) In periods prior to December 31, 2017, the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiaries were designated as permanently reinvested. As of December 31, 2017, however, management did not assert that the undistributed earnings of our Canadian subsidiaries will be permanently reinvested. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized a deferred tax (benefit) charge of $(393) and $1,363, respectively, for future foreign withholding taxes related to undistributed earnings. (e) Under the TCJA, the corporate alternative minimum tax was repealed and any minimum tax carryforwards not utilized become fully refundable in 2021. The Company does not expect to utilize its minimum tax credit carryforward. As a result, a cash benefit of $4,108 to income tax expense was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2017. (f) Upon enactment, the TCJA includes a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings, net of foreign tax credits. As a result, a cash charge of $736 to income tax expense was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2017. The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are presented below: 2018 2017 Deferred tax assets: Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 654 $ 709 Accrued liabilities not deducted for tax purposes 7,022 3,648 Asset retirement obligation — 124 Net operating loss carry forwards 34,716 18,617 Tax credit carry forwards 320 153 Charitable contributions carry forward 47 7 Property, plant and equipment — 2,300 Investment in partnerships — 240 Gross deferred tax assets 42,759 25,798 Less: valuation allowance (23,934 ) (20,120 ) Net deferred tax assets 18,825 5,678 Deferred tax liabilities: Intangibles (6,565 ) (5,199 ) Investment in partnerships (31,746 ) — Property, plant and equipment (366 ) — Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries (882 ) (1,363 ) Gross deferred tax liabilities (39,559 ) (6,562 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (20,734 ) $ (884 ) As of December 31, 2018, we have approximately $285,126 of U.S. net operating loss carry forwards to offset future taxable income. Of this amount, $63,716 is subject to Internal Revenue Code §382 limitation but will be available to be fully utilized by no later than 2032. These carry forwards expire between 2029 through 2032. In addition, we have $4,799 of various credits available to offset future U.S. federal income tax. Under the TCJA, the corporate alternative minimum tax was repealed and any minimum tax credit carryforwards not utilized become fully refundable in 2021. We do not expect to utilize our minimum tax credit of $4,108 before 2021. As of December 31, 2018 we have approximately $724,635 of state net operating loss carry forwards before valuation allowances. These state net operating losses are available to reduce future taxable income and expire at various times and amounts. In addition, we have $190 of various credits available to offset future state income tax. There was no valuation allowance related to state net operating loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. There were no net changes in the total state valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. During 2018, we generated $7,377 of Puerto Rico net operating losses. As of December 31, 2018, we had approximately $51,642 of Puerto Rico net operating loss carry forwards before valuation allowances. These Puerto Rico net operating losses are available to offset future taxable income. These carry forwards expire between 2019 and 2028. In addition, we have $153 of alternative minimum tax credits available to offset future Puerto Rico income tax. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those jurisdictions during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry back and carry forward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax assets, the Company will need to generate future taxable income before the expiration of the carry forwards governed by the tax code. Based on the current level of pretax earnings, the Company will not generate the minimum amount of future taxable income to support the realization of the deferred tax assets. As a result, management has determined that a valuation allowance related to Puerto Rico net operating loss carry forwards and other deferred tax assets is necessary. The valuation allowance for these deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $23,934 and $20,120, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was an increase of $3,814 and $3,953, respectively. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period increase. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has accumulated undistributed earnings generated by our foreign subsidiaries of approximately $22,528. Management does not designate these earnings as permanently reinvested and has recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately $882 related to foreign withholding taxes on these earnings. We have recognized a current year tax expense of $234 related to 2018 earnings and a tax benefit of $(635) related to prior year earnings repatriated in 2018. Under ASC 740 Income Taxes Balance as of December 31, 2016 $ 772 Additions for tax positions related to current year 1,122 Additions for tax positions related to prior years 173 Reductions for tax positions related to prior years — Lapse of statute of limitations — Settlements — Balance as of December 31, 2017 $ 2,067 Additions for tax positions related to current year 932 Additions for tax positions related to prior years 238 Reductions for tax positions related to prior years — Lapse of statute of limitations (30 ) Settlements — Balance as of December 31, 2018 $ 3,207 Included in the balance of unrecognized benefits at December 31, 2018 is $3,207 of tax benefits that, if recognized in future periods, would impact our effective tax rate. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized interest and penalties of $411 and $213, respectively, as a component of income tax expense in connection with our liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. Within the next twelve months, we expect to decrease our unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $112 as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and nearly all states. In addition, the Company is subject to income taxes in Canada and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. We are no longer subject to U.S federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2013, or for any U.S. state income tax audit prior to 2010. The Internal Revenue Service has completed a review of the 2013 income tax return. With respect to Canada and Puerto Rico, we are no longer subject to income tax audits for years before 2015 and 2014, respectively. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | (14) Stockholders’ Equity On July 16, 1999, the Board of Directors designated 5,720 shares of the 1,000,000 shares of previously undesignated preferred stock, par value $.001, as Series AA preferred stock, which shares were subsequently exchanged on a one for one basis in the REIT conversion. The Series AA preferred stock ranks senior to the Class A common stock and Class B common stock with respect to dividends and upon liquidation. Holders of Series AA preferred stock are entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis, dividends at the rate of $15.95 per share per quarter when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. The Series AA preferred stock is entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis, $638 plus a further amount equal to any dividend accrued and unpaid to the date of distribution before any payments are made or assets distributed to the Class A common stock or Class B stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The liquidation value of the outstanding Series AA preferred stock at December 31, 2018 was $3,649. The Series AA preferred stock is entitled to one vote per share. All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, following any required distribution to the holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to share pro rata in any balance of the corporate assets available for distribution to them. The Company may pay dividends if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefore, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Company’s existing indentures and the senior credit facility. Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class of preferred stock, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. No dividend may be declared or paid in cash or property on any share of either class of common stock unless simultaneously the same dividend is declared or paid on each share of the other class of common stock, provided that, in the event of stock dividends, holders of a specific class of common stock shall be entitled to receive only additional shares of such class. The rights of the Class A and Class B common stock are equal in all respects, except holders of Class B common stock have ten votes per share on all matters in which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote and holders of Class A common stock have one vote per share on such matters. The Class B common stock will convert automatically into Class A common stock upon the sale or transfer to persons other than permitted transferees (as defined in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended). On December 11, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250,000 of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “repurchase program”). There were no repurchases under the repurchase program which expired on June 30, 2016. On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. as its sales agents (each a “Sales Agent”, and collectively, the “Sales Agents”). Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $400,000, through the Sales Agents as either agents or principals. As of December 31, 2018, 576,002 shares of our Class A Common Stock have been sold under the Sales Agreement and accordingly $357,885 remains available to be sold under the Sales Agreement. Sales of the Class A Common Stock, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Global Select Market and any other existing trading market for the Class A Common Stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Class A Common Stock under the Sales Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the Sales Agreement. On August 6, 2018, the Company filed an automatically effective shelf registration statement that registered the offer and sale of an indeterminate amount of additional shares of our Class A common stock. As of December 31, 2018, the Company issued 163,137 shares of its Class A common stock in connection with acquisitions occurring during the period. The Company filed a prospectus supplement to the shelf registration statement relating to the offer and resale of such shares of Class A common stock. |

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract] | |
Stock Compensation Plans | (15) Stock Compensation Plans Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “1996 Plan”) has reserved 15.5 million shares of common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including options granted and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the 1996 Plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years which primarily includes 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2) options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant. In February 2013, the 1996 Plan was amended to eliminate the provision that limited the amount of Class A common stock, including shares retained from an award, that could be withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations to the minimum tax obligations required by law (except with respect to option awards). In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. We have reviewed our historical pattern of option exercises and have determined that meaningful differences in option exercise activity existed among vesting schedules. Therefore, for all stock options granted after January 1, 2006, we have categorized these awards into two groups of vesting 1) 5-year cliff vest and 2) 4-year graded vest, for valuation purposes. We have determined there were no meaningful differences in employee activity under our ESPP due to the nature of the plan. We estimate the expected term of options granted using an implied life derived from the results of a hypothetical mid-point settlement scenario, which incorporates our historical exercise, expiration and post-vesting employment termination patterns, while accommodating for partial life cycle effects. We believe these estimates will approximate future behavior. We estimate the expected volatility of our Class A common stock at the grant date using a blend of 90% historical volatility of our Class A common stock and 10% implied volatility of publicly traded options with maturities greater than six months on our Class A common stock as of the option grant date. Our decision to use a blend of historical and implied volatility was based upon the volume of actively traded options on our common stock and our belief that historical volatility alone may not be completely representative of future stock price trends. Our risk-free interest rate assumption is determined using the Federal Reserve nominal rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. We assumed an expected dividend yield of 5%. We estimate option forfeitures at the time of grant and periodically revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate based on our historical forfeiture data. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used: Grant Year Dividend Yield Expected Volatility Risk Free Interest Rate Expected Lives 2018 5% 46% 2% 6 2017 5% 45% 2% 6 2016 5% 45% 2% 6 Information regarding the 1996 Plan for the year ended December 31, 2018 is as follows: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Contractual Life Outstanding, beginning of year 1,099,877 $ 44.00 Granted 104,000 67.21 Exercised (361,618 ) 37.15 Forfeited (5,400 ) 73.56 Expired — — Outstanding, end of year 836,859 49.65 5.34 Exercisable at end of year 650,359 44.59 4.43 At December 31, 2018 there was $2,837 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.77 years. Shares available for future stock option and restricted share grants to employees and directors under existing plans were 975,215 at December 31, 2018. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of December 31, 2018 was $16,821, and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was $16,143. Total intrinsic value of options exercised was $12,378 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Stock Purchase Plan. In 2009 our Board of Directors adopted a new employee stock purchase plan, the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2009 ESPP”), which was approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009. The 2009 ESPP reserved 588,154 shares of Class A common stock for issuance to our employees, which included 88,154 shares of Class A common stock that had been available for issuance under our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ 2000 ESPP”). The 2000 ESPP was terminated following the issuance of all shares that were subject to the offer that commenced under the 2000 ESPP on January 1, 2009 and ended June 30, 2009. The terms of the 2009 ESPP are substantially the same as the 2000 ESPP. The number of shares of Class A common stock available under the 2009 ESPP was automatically increased by 83,838 shares on January 1, 2018 pursuant to the automatic increase provisions of the 2009 ESPP. The following is a summary of 2009 ESPP share activity for the year ended December 31, 2018: Shares Available for future purchases, January 1, 2018 225,418 Additional shares reserved under 2009 ESPP 83,838 Purchases (126,012 ) Available for future purchases, December 31, 2018 183,244 Performance-based compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to key officers and employees under our 1996 Plan based on certain Company performance measures for fiscal 2018. The number of shares to be issued, if any, are dependent on the level of achievement of these performance measures as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee based on our 2018 results and were issued in the first quarter of 2019. The shares subject to these awards can range from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 100% of the target number of shares depending on the level at which the goals are attained. Based on the Company’s performance measures achieved through December 31, 2018, the Company has accrued $18,929 as compensation expense related to these agreements. |

The Company has the option to match 50% of employees’ contributions up to 5% of eligible compensation. Employees can contribute up to 100% of compensation. Full vesting on the Company’s matched contributions occurs after three years for contributions made after January 1, 2002. Annually, at the Company’s discretion, an additional profit sharing contribution may be made on behalf of each eligible employee. The Company matched contributions of $4,966, $4,715 and $4,545 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Deferred Compensation Plan The Company sponsors a Deferred Compensation Plan for the benefit of certain of its board-elected officers who meet specific age and years of service and other criteria. Officers that have attained the age of 30 and have a minimum of 10 years of service to the Company and satisfy additional eligibility guidelines are eligible for annual contributions to the plan generally ranging from $3 to $8, depending on the employee’s length of service. The Company’s contributions to the plan are maintained in a rabbi trust and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the plan are reflected in the balance sheet of the Company in other assets and other liabilities. Upon termination, death or disability, participating employees are eligible to receive an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets in the employee’s deferred compensation account. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company contributed $1,585, $1,526 and $1,487, respectively. On December 8, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Lamar Deferred Compensation Plan in order to (1) to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) applicable to deferred compensation and (2) to reflect changes in the administration of the plan. The Company’s Board of Directors also approved the adoption of a grantor trust pursuant to which amounts may be set aside, but remain subject to claims of the Company’s creditors, for payments of liabilities under the new plan, including amounts contributed under the old plan. The plan was further amended in August 2007 to make certain amendments to reflect Section 409A regulations issued on April 10, 2007. An additional clarifying amendment was made to the plan in December 2013. |

Distribution Restrictions | (18) Distribution Restrictions Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is restricted under both the terms of the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes and by the terms of its senior credit facility. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Lamar Media was permitted under the terms of its outstanding senior subordinated and senior notes to make transfers to Lamar Advertising in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances in amounts up to $3,156,061 and $2,975,593, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | (19) Fair Value of Financial Instruments At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments and initial recognition of asset retirement obligations are reported at fair values. Fair values for investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long term debt (including current maturities) was $2,904,851, which is less than both the gross and carrying amount of $2,914,552 as of December 31, 2018. The majority of the fair value is determined using observed prices of publicly traded debt (level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) and the remaining is valued based on quoted prices for similar debt (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). |

New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | (21) New Accounting Pronouncements Revenue In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Codified as ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers Leases In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 Codification Improvements to Topic 842 Leases Targeted Improvements The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. We expect to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We also expect to elect the use of hindsight and the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. We expect to elect all of the new standard’s available transition practical expedients. We expect that this standard will have a material effect on our financial statements. While we continue to assess all of the effects of adoption, we currently believe the most significant effects relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our billboard, logo, building and vehicle operating leases; (2) reclassification within our balance sheet of current asset prepaid operating lease balances to be a reduction of our lease liabilities and; (3) providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities. On adoption, we currently expect to recognize additional operating liabilities exceeding $1.1 billion, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for our existing operating leases. The new standard also provides practical expedients for a company’s ongoing accounting. We currently expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for our vehicle leases. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. This includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition.

On February 1, 2019, Lamar Media issued $250,000 in aggregate principle amount of 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026 through an institutional private placement (the “New Notes”). The New Notes were issued as additional notes to the existing $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026 that Lamar issued on January 28, 2016 (the “Existing Notes”). Other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and CUSIP number, the New Notes have the same terms as the Existing Notes. Once the New Notes are registered under the Securities Act and exchanged for exchange notes or become freely tradable under Rule 144, Lamar Media expects that the New Notes and the Existing Notes will share a single CUSIP number and thereafter be fungible. The net proceeds after underwriting fees and expenses, was approximately $251,500 and were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility |

Nature of Business | (a) Nature of Business Lamar Advertising Company (the Company) is engaged in the outdoor advertising business, operating approximately 156,900 billboard advertising displays in 45 states and Canada. The Company’s operating strategy is to be the leading provider of outdoor advertising services in the markets it serves. In addition, the Company operates a logo sign business in 23 states throughout the United States and the province of Ontario, Canada and operates approximately 53,300 transit advertising displays in 22 states and Canada. Logo signs are erected pursuant to state-awarded service contracts on public rights-of-way near highway exits and deliver brand name information on available gas, food, lodging and camping services. Included in the Company’s logo sign business are tourism signing contracts. The Company provides transit advertising in airport terminals, on bus shelters, benches and buses in the markets it serves. The Company operates as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income and gains that the Company distributes to its stockholders, including the income derived from advertising rental revenue. However, even as a REIT, the Company will remain obligated to pay income taxes on earnings from the assets of its taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). In addition, the Company’s foreign assets and operations continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or those operations are conducted. |
Principles of Consolidation | (b) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Lamar Advertising Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp. (Lamar Media), and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. An operating segment is a component of an enterprise: • that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; • whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and • for which discrete financial information is available. We define the term ‘chief operating decision maker’ to be our executive management group, which consist of our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer. Currently, all operations are reviewed on a consolidated basis for budget and business plan performance by our executive management group. Additionally, operational performance at the end of each reporting period is viewed in the aggregate by our management group. Any decisions related to changes in invested capital, personnel, operational improvement or training, or to allocate other company resources are made based on the combined results. We operate in a single operating and reporting segment, advertising. We rent advertising space on billboards, buses, shelters, benches, logo plates and in airport terminals. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | (c) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | (d) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test. The Company designated December 31 as the date of its annual goodwill impairment test. The Company is required to identify its reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit. The Company has identified two reporting units, Billboard operations and Logo operations, by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units. The Company is required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company would be required to book an impairment loss. The Company conducts a qualitative assessment by examining relevant events and circumstances which could have a negative impact on the Company’s goodwill, which includes macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, reporting unit dispositions and acquisitions, the market capitalization of the Company and other relevant events specific to the Company. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances described above, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of either of the Company's reporting units is less than its carrying amount, the Company will perform a quantitative impairment test. If industry and economic conditions deteriorate, the Company may be required to assess goodwill impairment before the next annual test, which could result in impairment charges. The Company performed its annual measurement for impairment of the goodwill of its reporting units and concluded the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount at its annual impairment test date on December 31, 2018 and 2017; therefore, the Company was not required to recognize an impairment loss. Intangible assets, consisting primarily of site locations, customer lists and contracts, and non-competition agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives, generally from 2 to 15 years. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | (e) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group before interest expense. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. |
Acquisitions | (f) Acquisitions The Company accounts for transactions that meet the definition of a business and group asset purchases as acquisitions. For transactions that meet the definition of a business combination, the Company allocates the purchase price, including any contingent consideration, to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition with any excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. For transactions that meet the definition of asset group purchases, the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. If a transaction is determined to be a group of assets, any direct acquisition costs are capitalized. Transaction costs for transactions determined to be a business combination are expensed as incurred. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is typically determined by using either estimates of replacement costs or discounted cash flow valuation methods. When determining the fair value of tangible assets acquired, the Company must estimate the cost to replace the asset with a new asset, adjusted for an estimated reduction in fair value due to age of the asset, and the economic useful life. When determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company must estimate the applicable discount rate and the timing and amount of future cash flows. The determination of the final purchase price and the acquisition-date fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed may extend over more than one period and result in adjustments to the preliminary estimate recognized in the prior period financial statements. Effective October 1, 2016, the Company changed its accounting for business combinations, as further discussed in note 21 to the consolidated financial statements. |
Deferred Income | (g) Deferred Income Deferred income consists principally of advertising revenue invoiced in advance. Deferred advertising revenue is recognized in income over the term of the contract. |
Revenue Recognition | (h) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes outdoor advertising revenue on an accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts. Production revenue and the related expense for the advertising copy are recognized upon satisfaction of its performance obligation. The Company engages in barter transactions where the Company trades advertising space for goods and services. The Company recognizes revenues and expenses from barter transactions at fair value, which is determined based on the Company’s own historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising space from buyers unrelated to the party in the barter transaction. The amount of revenue and expense recognized for advertising barter transactions is as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Net revenues $ 8,955 $ 8,469 $ 8,051 Direct advertising expenses $ 3,633 $ 3,603 $ 3,559 General and administrative expenses $ 4,758 $ 4,332 $ 4,067 |
Income Taxes | (i) Income Taxes As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to federal income taxes on income and gains distributed to the Company’s stockholders. However, the Company remains obligated to pay income taxes on earnings from domestic TRSs. In addition, the Company’s foreign assets and operations continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or where those operations are conducted, including those designated as Qualified REIT Subsidiaries, or QRSs, for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect provisions for federal, state, local and foreign income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. |
Dividends/Distributions | (j) Dividends/Distributions As a REIT, the Company must annually distribute to its stockholders an amount equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for distributed earnings and excluding any net capital gain). During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid cash distributions of its REIT taxable income in an aggregate amount of $442,632 or $4.48 per share. The distributions paid during 2018 include distributions declared and accrued as of December 31, 2017 of $81,534 or $0.83 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company declared distributions of $325,462 or $3.32 per share, including paid distributions of $243,928 or $2.49 per share. During the year ended 2016, the Company declared and paid distributions of its REIT taxable income of an aggregate of $293,600 or $3.02 per share. The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will be declared based upon various factors, a number of which may be beyond the Company’s control, including the financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain REIT status and reduce any income and excise taxes that the Company otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in its existing and future debt instruments, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses (“NOLs”) to offset, in whole or in part, the Company’s distribution requirements, limitations on its ability to fund distributions using cash generated through its TRSs and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid cash dividend distributions to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount of $456 or $79.75 per share, including $91, or $15.95 per share, related to distributions declared in 2017. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company accrued or paid cash dividend distributions to holders of its Series AA Preferred Stock of $365 or $63.80 per share. |
Earnings Per Share | (k) Earnings Per Share The calculation of basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options, while diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 there were no dilutive shares excluded from the calculation. |
Share Based Compensation | (l) Stock Based Compensation Compensation expense for share-based awards is recognized based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards on a straight-line basis, which is generally commensurate with the vesting term. Non-cash compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 were $29,443, $9,599 and $28,560, respectively. The $29,443 expensed during the year ended December 31, 2018 consists of (i) $3,644 related to stock options, (ii) $25,427 related to stock grants made under the Company’s performance-based stock incentive program in 2018 and (iii) $372 related to stock awards to directors. See Note 15 for information on the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | (m) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
Foreign Currency Translation | (n) Foreign Currency Translation Local currencies generally are considered the functional currencies outside the United States. Assets and liabilities for operations in local-currency environments are translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and as a component of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | (o) Asset Retirement Obligations The Company is required to record the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. The liability is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset’s carrying amount. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate primarily to the dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its leased properties. |
Use of Estimates | (p) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Comprehensive Income | (q) Comprehensive Income Total comprehensive income is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and the components of accumulated comprehensive income (loss) are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income (loss) is composed of foreign currency translation effects. |
Fair Value Measurements | (r) Fair Value Measurements The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. |
Subsequent Events | (s) Subsequent Events The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date on which the financial statements are issued. |
Reclassification of prior amounts | (t) Reclassification of prior amounts Certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. |
