Aurora, IL Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

Aurora's residential temporary-sign rules generally cap total sign area at 6 square feet, but Code § 41-19 carves out a dedicated election window: from 90 days before any local, city, state, or national election until 5 days after, residential properties may display signs without violating the temporary-sign ordinance as long as no individual sign exceeds 6 square feet. The rule applies citywide across all four counties Aurora sits in, Kane, DuPage, Will, and Kendall, since the sign code is a uniform city ordinance, not a county rule. Sandwich boards, illumination, and durability standards from the general temporary-sign provisions still apply.
