Cities and the county regulate temporary signs by size, placement, and duration, not by message, so political signs on private property are broadly allowed within those content-neutral limits. Signs generally may not block sight lines or sit in the public right-of-way.
After Reed v. Town of Gilbert, Utah local governments must regulate signs content-neutrally, so political signs are treated like other temporary signs. In Layton, temporary signs on private property are permitted subject to the size and placement standards in the city sign code (Title 20); signs in the public right-of-way or blocking traffic visibility may be removed. Davis County applies similar temporary-sign rules on unincorporated land. Exact size caps and removal deadlines vary by city, so confirm with your city before an election.
Signs placed in the right-of-way, on utility poles, or blocking sight triangles may be removed by the city, and repeat violations can bring fines.
