<P> Principal photography began on May 2 , 2016 , in Sylva , North Carolina , and ran for 33 days . Allison Outdoor Advertising of Sylva built the actual billboards , which were put in a pasture near Black Mountain , North Carolina because that location was better . Most of the time the billboards were covered because people in the area found them upsetting . David Penix of Arden , North Carolina bought the billboards and used the wood for a roof in Douglas Lake in Tennessee , though the messages are no longer in order . Town Pump Tavern in Black Mountain , which had appeared in The World Made Straight , was used as a set and was closed for three days during filming . A pool table and booths were added . The bar 's actual sign appeared in the movie . </P>
