Political Signs: Antioch vs Walnut Creek

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.

Walnut Creek treats political signs the same as other temporary yard signs under content-neutral rules: 6 sq ft aggregate on private property. California Elections Code §18370 and constitutional free speech protections prohibit the city from imposing election-specific time limits or content restrictions.
