Corpus Christi permits political signs on private property consistent with First Amendment protections and the Texas Election Code. Texas law (Election Code §259.002) protects the right to display political signs on private property. The city's sign regulations restrict size and placement but do not impose content-based restrictions. Signs must not be placed in the public right-of-way.
Political sign regulations in Corpus Christi balance free speech protections with aesthetic and safety concerns. Signs on private property are protected by the First Amendment and Texas state law. Common regulations include: maximum sign size (typically 4–6 square feet in residential, 32 square feet in commercial zones), prohibition on placement in public rights-of-way or on utility poles, and time restrictions (signs may be placed 30–90 days before an election and must be removed within 7–14 days after). Signs must not obstruct sight triangles at intersections or driveways. Content-neutral enforcement means all political signs are treated equally regardless of candidate or issue. HOA restrictions on political signs may be limited by Texas state law.
Signs in right-of-way: removed by city crews, $25–$50 fine per sign. Oversized signs: $50–$100 notice. Signs remaining after removal deadline: $25/day per sign.
