Bulloch County, GA Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

Bulloch County Zoning Ordinance § 2204(j) lists political campaign signs among the categories exempt from the county's sign-permit process in unincorporated Bulloch County. § 16-7-58. That means a candidate or committee posting yard signs, right-of-way signs, or business-frontage signs in the unincorporated county does not need to file a sign-permit application with the zoning administrator or pay a permit fee for those signs, so long as the placement follows the state election-sign statute's own rules on locations such as public rights-of-way and removal timing. The general conditions that open Section 2204 still apply to political signs as with every other exempt category: a sign must be erected on the property of the person posting it, or on property whose owner gave permission, and it must still meet the county's other standards on physical placement and dimensions that are not otherwise addressed by the state statute.

Signs that do not qualify as 'political campaign signs' under the state law, such as a permanent campaign billboard, fall back under the ordinary Article 22 permit and size rules for whichever sign type they resemble.
