Aurora allows political signs on private property with content-neutral rules; signs must be under 32 square feet in residential zones and removed within 10 days after the election.
Aurora City Code Chapter 146 regulates signs using content-neutral standards consistent with the First Amendment and CRS 18-13-101 public nuisance provisions. Temporary non-commercial signs, including political signs, are permitted on private property without a permit. In residential zones, each sign is limited to 6 square feet, with a total aggregate of 32 square feet per parcel. Signs may not obstruct sight triangles at intersections. Placement in public rights-of-way, medians, and utility poles is prohibited and signs will be removed by city crews. Post-election removal is expected within 10 days.
