On private property, O.C.G.A. §16-7-58 bars Coweta County, Newnan, and Senoia from limiting the number of political signs or how long they stay up. Off your land, O.C.G.A. §32-6-51 makes staking a sign in a public-road right-of-way unlawful.
Georgia protects yard political signs. Under O.C.G.A. §16-7-58, no county, municipal, or consolidated government may restrict how long a political campaign sign is displayed or the number of signs on private property where the owner has given permission — so Coweta County, Newnan, and Senoia cannot cap or time-limit yard signs. The county's zoning sign rules still handle other temporary signs content-neutrally, the approach required after Reed v. Town of Gilbert. The firm line is off your land: O.C.G.A. §32-6-51 bars erecting a sign within the dedicated right-of-way of any public road, so GDOT and county crews pull signs staked along I-85 ramps, US 29, GA 34, and GA 16. In subdivisions, HOA covenants add limits Georgia does not override.
A sign in a public-road right-of-way violates O.C.G.A. §32-6-51, a misdemeanor removed by GDOT or the county. But under §16-7-58 the county may not fine you for the number or duration of political signs on your own property.
