Texas Election Code Section 259.002 protects political signs on residential property in Cedar Hill, allowing reasonably sized signs up to 36 square feet without permit during election periods.
Cedar Hill must comply with Tex. Election Code Section 259.002 and Tex. Property Code Section 202.009, which together protect a homeowner's right to display political signs on their own property. State law allows political signs up to 36 square feet in area and 8 feet in height, ground mounted, with no illumination or moving parts, displayed during the 90 days before and 10 days after an election. HOAs may not prohibit political signs but may regulate size, number, and timing within those statutory limits. The city sign ordinance applies the same content-neutral rules to political signs as other temporary signs regarding public right-of-way placement, which is prohibited. Signs in medians, on utility poles, or attached to traffic devices may be removed by the city.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Cedar Hill code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
