Political signs in Doral are protected under the First Amendment and Florida Statute 106.1435, which establishes statewide standards for political sign regulation. The city cannot prohibit political signs on private property or impose content-based restrictions on their display. Florida law permits the posting of political signs on private property beginning 90 days before the first day of early voting and requires removal within 30 days after the election. During this protected period, Doral cannot regulate political signs more strictly than non-political signs of similar size and character. The city's sign code establishes general standards for temporary signs that apply equally to political signs. Signs must not obstruct traffic sight visibility triangles at intersections or driveways. Signs may not be placed on public property, in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, or on traffic control devices. Maximum size for temporary signs in residential areas is typically 4 square feet per sign. No permit is required for conforming political signs on private property. Signs on commercial property may have different size allowances per the applicable zoning district. Florida law also prohibits HOAs from restricting political signs during the protected election period, though HOAs may impose reasonable size and number limitations consistent with state law.
Placing political signs on public property or rights-of-way may result in sign removal and fines. Signs obstructing traffic visibility may be removed immediately as a safety hazard. Outside the protected election period, signs not removed within 30 days may be cited under the general sign code.
