Political Signs

Rialto regulates temporary signs (including political/campaign signs) under Title 18 Zoning, Chapter 18.78 Sign Regulations. Content-neutral standards apply to size, height, location, and removal. State law (Cal. Gov. Code §65850 and First Amendment case law, e.g., Reed v. Town of Gilbert) prohibits content-based discrimination, so political signs are generally treated as temporary signs subject to the same neutral time/place/manner rules.
