Political Signs
Noblesville treats noncommercial political and campaign signs as temporary signs under the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), Chapter 159 / Article 11 (Signs), and § 159.169 (Exempt Signs). Indiana has NO statewide preemption barring municipalities from regulating campaign signs on private residential property generally, but Indiana Code 32-21-13 (Display of Political Signs on Property Subject to Restrictive Covenants or Homeowners Association Rules) prohibits HOAs from banning political signs during the period beginning 30 days before and ending 5 days after the election. Signs in the public right-of-way and on utility poles are prohibited under UDO § 159.105.

Some RestrictionsHoliday Displays
Noblesville's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Chapter 159 / Article 11 (Signs) does not set a calendar take-down deadline for residential holiday lights, wreaths, garlands, or inflatable decorations that carry only a generic seasonal message. Such decorations are not 'signs' under the UDO. Practical limits come from the UDO right-of-way rules (no decorations in the public ROW or blocking sight triangles), Chapter 93 nuisance / property maintenance provisions, and HOA covenants. Indiana has no statewide statute regulating residential holiday displays.
