Political signs allowed on private property in unincorporated Sacramento County. HOAs preempted by Civil Code 4710 from banning most political signs in common interest developments.
Sacramento County allows temporary political signs on private property subject to the sign ordinance size limits (typically 6 square feet residential, up to 32 square feet commercial). Signs in the public right-of-way or on utility poles are prohibited under county code and Caltrans rules. California Civil Code 4710 preempts HOA rules that would forbid a homeowner from displaying non-commercial political signs inside their own unit or yard, except signs may be limited to reasonable size (9 square feet) and posting time (not more than 90 days before and 15 days after the election).
