Summit County sets no countywide political-sign rule. Signs on private property are regulated by local zoning, which under Reed v. Town of Gilbert must be content-neutral. State law (ORC 5515.02) bans signs in state highway right-of-way.
Political yard signs are protected political speech, and municipal sign codes cannot single them out by content after the Supreme Court's Reed v. Town of Gilbert decision. In Summit County the applicable rules come from your city, village, or township, not the county: local codes may impose neutral size, setback, and placement standards. Ohio does not cap political-sign size statewide, but signs are prohibited on state-owned highway right-of-way and are removed by ODOT. Some municipalities allow more sign area during an election period. Check your local zoning code for any lawful, content-neutral limits before posting.
Signs placed in public right-of-way or violating neutral local size/setback rules may be removed by the municipality or ODOT; enforcement is local. Content-based bans on political signs are generally unconstitutional.
