Sign Regulations in Peoria, IL (2026)

Political Signs

Illinois Municipal Code 65 ILCS 5/11-13-1 prohibits any home rule or non-home rule municipality (including Peoria) from prohibiting the display of outdoor political campaign signs on residential property during any period of time — only 'reasonable restrictions as to size' are allowed. Peoria's local rule, consistent with this state preemption and the U.S. Supreme Court's Reed v. Town of Gilbert content-neutrality requirement, allows political signs on private residential property year-round, subject to general sign-code size and setback limits. Yard signs placed in the public right-of-way (including political, garage sale, and temporary business signs) are removed by Peoria Public Works.
