Pasco County LDC Ch. 504 allows temporary political signs on private property (typically up to 6 sq ft residential, 32 sq ft non-residential). Signs in public right-of-way prohibited. Content-neutral regulation required per Reed v. Gilbert (2015). Signs must be removed within 7 days after election.
Pasco County regulates political signs as temporary signs under Land Development Code (LDC) Chapter 504. Political signs are permitted on private property with property-owner consent. Typical size limits: up to 6 square feet per sign in residential zones and up to 32 square feet in non-residential zones, with aggregate caps per parcel. Signs must be set back from the public right-of-way (generally at least 1 foot behind the sidewalk or curb) and may not obstruct intersection sight triangles per LDC §504. Placement in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, on traffic signs, or on public property is prohibited and signs will be removed by county staff without notice. Per Reed v. Town of Gilbert (576 U.S. 155, 2015), the county cannot impose content-based restrictions treating political signs differently from other temporary signs of similar size and duration. Signs must be removed within 7 days after the election. Florida law (F.S. §106.1435) addresses candidate sign placement; FDOT regulates right-of-way on state highways (US 19, SR 54, SR 52).
Signs in right-of-way: removed by county without notice or reimbursement. Oversized sign: notice to reduce within 7 days, then $25 to $100 fine per sign. Failure to remove post-election: fines $25 to $50 per day per sign after grace period. Signs on state highway ROW: FDOT removal.
