Political Signs
Palm Coast regulates signs in Chapter 12 (Signs and Advertising) of the Unified Land Development Code. All signs in any public right-of-way are prohibited — the only exception is government signs — and the ban applies uniformly to political, real-estate, and commercial signs (a content-neutral structure adopted to comply with Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 576 U.S. 155 (2015)). Political signs on private property are treated as temporary signs and historically capped at 16 sq ft in residential districts and 32 sq ft in non-residential districts, with a 60-day pre-election display window and removal within 15 days after the election. Enforcement runs through Palm Coast Code Enforcement and the Special Magistrate under FS Chapter 162.

Some RestrictionsGarage Sale Signs
Palm Coast Chapter 16, Article V (Garage Sales) prohibits all off-site or off-premise garage-sale signs — signs may only be posted on the property hosting the sale. Chapter 12 (Signs and Advertising) of the Unified Land Development Code separately bans all signs (except governmental signs) in any public right-of-way, swale, median, or attached to utility poles, traffic signs, trees, or fences. Off-premise signs may be removed immediately by Code Enforcement or Public Works. Violations are cited through Palm Coast Code Enforcement and adjudicated by the Special Magistrate under FS Chapter 162.

Heavy RestrictionsHoliday Displays
Palm Coast does not set a calendar-based take-down date for residential holiday lights or seasonal decorations. Non-commercial holiday displays are not treated as 'signs' under Unified Land Development Code Chapter 12 (Signs and Advertising) and require no permit. Practical limits come from other code provisions: decorations may not encroach into a public right-of-way (Chapter 12 prohibits all non-governmental signage there), block sight triangles at corner intersections, or create a noise nuisance under Chapter 35 (Nuisances Offensive to the Morals and Public Health).
