Auburn FAQ
Can I put a political sign on the planting strip in front of my Auburn house?
No. The planting strip is public right-of-way, and ACC 18.56 does not allow signs there. Place signs on your private property side of the sidewalk.
How long can I leave my political sign up after an Auburn election?
Remove political signs within about seven to ten days after the election, consistent with typical Washington municipal codes, to avoid enforcement under ACC 18.56.
