Coral Springs regulates political signs under Chapter 18 of the Land Development Code (Signs), Section 1806 (Temporary Signs). Political and noncommercial signs on residential properties are treated as temporary signs with size and placement restrictions. Signs may not be placed in public rights-of-way or on utility poles, and all temporary signs must be removed promptly after an election or event.
Chapter 18 of the Coral Springs Land Development Code governs all signage in the city. Section 1806 addresses temporary signs, which includes political and noncommercial speech signs. Political signs on residential property are generally limited to a maximum of 4 square feet per sign face in residential zoning districts. Signs must be set back from the property line and may not obstruct sight triangles at intersections. Signs placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, traffic signs, or city-owned property are prohibited under Section 1814 (Prohibited Signs). Florida Statute §106.1435 provides statewide protections for political campaign signs, prohibiting local governments from regulating political signs more restrictively than other temporary noncommercial signs. Coral Springs Code Compliance actively enforces sign violations, particularly removal of signs placed illegally in rights-of-way and on median strips. All political signs must be removed within a set period after the election.
Signs placed in rights-of-way or on public property are subject to immediate removal by the city. Code violations are issued under Section 1-8.1 of the Code of Ordinances. Fines may be assessed for signs that remain after the mandated removal period post-election.
