Political Signs: Anza vs Riverside

Unincorporated Riverside County permits temporary political signs on private property without a permit, consistent with the First Amendment and California Elections Code. Signs may be posted up to 90 days before an election and must be removed within 10 days after, and the aggregate size on a single residential parcel is generally capped at 32 square feet per Riverside County Ordinance 348.

Riverside's sign ordinance permits political signs on private property without a permit consistent with First Amendment protections. Signs must not be placed in the public right-of-way or obstruct traffic visibility. California Election Code protects the right to display political signs on residential property. The city's sign code regulates size limits for temporary signs but does not impose content-based restrictions on political messaging.
