Hernando County allows temporary political signs on private property under the Chapter 25.5 sign code, but signs in the public right-of-way or on utility poles are prohibited. Because sign rules must stay content-neutral after Reed v. Gilbert, limits apply by size and placement, not message.
Hernando County's sign standards live in Chapter 25.5 of the Code of Ordinances and, like all sign codes since Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), must treat a campaign sign the same as any other temporary sign. On your own yard in Spring Hill, Brooksville, or unincorporated Hernando, a political sign is generally fine within the code's size and setback limits. Placing signs in the road right-of-way, on utility poles, or on public property is prohibited and county crews remove them. Along state highways like US 19, US 98, and SR 50, FDOT controls outdoor advertising under Fla. Stat. §479. Many Spring Hill deed-restricted communities add their own sign limits.
Signs placed in the right-of-way or on utility poles are removed by the county, and repeat or oversized signs can draw a code enforcement notice and fines until corrected.
