Clark County's sign code treats political and other noncommercial messages as on-premises signs. Any sign displaying a noncommercial (including political) message is allowed wherever an on-premises sign is permitted. Signs may not be placed in the county right-of-way without a street use permit and cannot exceed 35 feet in height.
CCC 40.310.010 defines an on-premises sign to include religious, political, social and other noncommercial messages, so political signs are permitted on private property wherever on-premises signs are allowed. Prohibited placements and characteristics under 40.310.010(D) still apply: signs may not sit in the county right-of-way without a written street use permit, may not resemble traffic control devices, may not obstruct driver sightlines, and may not exceed 35 feet in height. The code does not regulate signs not visible from adjacent property or public rights-of-way. Cities set separate rules and Washington law (RCW 29A.84.290 area) protects election-season signage.
Political signs placed in the right-of-way, resembling traffic signs, or blocking sightlines can be removed by the county; right-of-way signs without a street use permit are prohibited under CCC 40.310.010(D)(8).
