Are yard and political signs permitted?
Ordinances govern the size, number, and duration of various signs. Check the rules with the city clerk before putting up any signs. The two most common signs encountered are real estate and political signs. Political signs generally go up 30 days ahead of an election and must come down within a day or so thereafter, even if the candidate will be running in a subsequent election, but that election is more than 30 days away. A “For Sale” sign may be left on the property without limitation, but “Open House” or “House for Sale” arrow signs are not to be put up more than 30 minutes before the open house, and must be removed within 30 minutes of its conclusion. Signs in violation can be confiscated without advance warning.
