Political Signs

City Hall is receiving calls regarding the placement of political signs. Article 10.7 of the Sign Ordinance regulates the placement of political signs as follows:

Any political sign or poster not exceeding three (3) square feet erected on property by the owner thereof or with the property owner's consent pertaining to a candidacy or issue to be voted upon at any election or referendum, provided such sign or poster shall not be erected more than sixty (60) days prior to such election or referendum and shall be removed with seven (7) days after the referendum, or last such election in which the candidate is eligible. All signs must have the name and contact information for the individual placing the sign.

As a property owner you may have political sign(s) that do not exceed three (3) square feet on your own property. The placement of any political sign within the city right of way is prohibited and will be picked up by the City. The right-of-way is defined on most streets as 50 feet or 25 feet from the center line in either direction.
