Broward County municipalities regulate political signs on private property with size and timing limits consistent with First Amendment protections, typically allowing signs 60-90 days before elections.
Broward County and its municipalities regulate political signs through sign codes that must comply with First Amendment content-neutral standards established by Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015). Most cities permit political signs on private residential property up to 6-12 square feet per sign without permit, with size limits often 32 square feet for commercial properties. Signs typically may be posted 60-90 days before an election and must be removed within 7-14 days after. Political signs in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, or on public property are prohibited and subject to removal by code enforcement without notice. Homeowners generally cannot be prohibited from posting political signs by HOA rules under Florida Statute 720.304 during candidacy periods.
