Full Breakdown
Weld County Code Chapter 23, Division 2 regulates signs by size and location, not by message, so it does not single out political signs. Section 23-4-90 lets each lot display up to five signs of up to six square feet each, in any zone, which typically covers yard-sign political speech. In Residential (R) and Estate (E) zones and in Agricultural subdivisions, a lot may also have one freestanding or banner sign limited to 32 square feet and five feet in height. Signs may not be placed in or over the county right-of-way, and the county may remove right-of-way signs without notice. Homes inside Greeley or Evans follow those cities' own sign codes.
Violations & Fines
Oversized signs, exceeding the count limits, or signs placed in the county right-of-way are enforced by Weld County Code Compliance; right-of-way signs may be removed and disposed of by the county without notice.
