Apopka allows temporary political signs on private property with consent of the owner. Signs cannot be placed in public right of way or on utility poles. First Amendment protections limit size and duration restrictions but reasonable time-place-manner rules apply.
Apopka sign code permits political campaign signs on private residential property with owner consent. Consistent with US Supreme Court Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), content-based restrictions (different rules for political vs other temporary signs) are unconstitutional. Apopka thus applies neutral rules to all temporary non-commercial signs: typical maximum 6 square feet per sign in residential zones, set back from property lines, not illuminated, and not placed in public rights of way or on utility poles, traffic signs, or medians. Signs in the right of way are subject to removal without notice by code enforcement or FDOT.
Signs in right of way: removed without notice, disposed after short holding period. Oversized or illuminated: warning then citation up to 250 dollars.
