Political Signs: Antioch vs Concord

Political signs are protected non-commercial speech in Antioch. Residents may display signs on private property during and outside election seasons, subject to the same content-neutral size and placement rules as other yard signs. Civil Code §4710 protects political signs in HOAs.

Political signs in Concord are regulated content-neutrally alongside all other temporary signs per Reed v. Gilbert. California Elections Code §13.5 and Civil Code §4710 further protect the right to display non-commercial and political signs on private property. Concord imposes no special pre-election posting or post-election removal deadlines beyond general temporary-sign duration limits.
