Political Signs: Anza vs Temecula

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.

Temecula permits temporary political signs on private property without a permit, subject to size, setback, and timing rules. Signs must be on private property with owner permission, cannot exceed established size limits, and must be removed within 10 days after the election. First Amendment protections limit content-based restrictions, but reasonable time-place-manner rules apply.
