Mohave County, AZ Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

Political speech gets the widest berth of any sign in Arizona. Section 42 of the Mohave County Zoning Ordinance lists political and campaign signs for candidates or ballot measures as exempt in all zoning districts, so no county permit is needed on private property. A.R.S. §16-1019 goes further: a city, town, or county may not remove a political sign lawfully placed in the public right-of-way during the window that runs seventy-one days before an election through fifteen days after, provided it meets size and contact-information rules. Signs may not block traffic sight lines. Along state highways such as US-93, US-95, and Interstate 40, ADOT controls the right-of-way. Under A.R.S. §33-1808 a homeowners' association cannot prohibit political signs.
