Political Signs
Rocklin treats political signs as 'temporary noncommercial signs' under Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 17.75 (Signs on Private Property). They may be posted on private property with the owner's permission, capped at 16 sq ft and 6 ft tall, displayed up to 45 days before the election and removed within 5 days after. Before posting, the responsible party must file a Statement of Responsibility with the City Clerk and post a $500 refundable deposit. Signs in the city right-of-way or on public property are removed by staff at $25 per sign deducted from the deposit.

Some RestrictionsGarage Sale Signs
Garage sale signs in Rocklin are exempt from a sign permit but must stay on private property with the owner's permission per Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 17.75. Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or affixed to traffic signs — code enforcement removes those immediately and bills the responsible party for removal. The temporary noncommercial sign standards still cap them at 16 sq ft, 6 ft tall, set back 5 ft from property lines and 15 ft from hydrants, street signs, and traffic signals. The garage sale itself is also limited to three per property per year, three consecutive days, and is not allowed Monday through Thursday.

Some RestrictionsHoliday Displays
Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 17.75 (Signs on Private Property) exempts holiday decorations from the sign permit requirement on residential properties, with no specific size cap for typical seasonal displays. Nonresidential properties may use 'typical' holiday decorations without a permit; commercially-oriented holiday promotions (e.g., Christmas tree lots, holiday sales events) need a special advertising permit, which the city allows up to three times per calendar year. The city has no ordinance limiting decorative lighting hours, brightness, or display duration on private residential property, though the general nuisance and noise provisions in Title 8 still apply to any amplified sound, glare onto neighboring property, or traffic hazards.
