Flower Mound, TX Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

Political signs in Flower Mound are governed by Texas Election Code Chapter 259 and Texas Property Code Section 202.009, which provide statewide protections for political speech on private property. Property owners may display political signs on their own property without obtaining a permit from the town. Signs must not be placed in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, or on public property. Texas Election Code Section 259.002 prohibits political signs within 100 feet of a polling place entrance on election day and during early voting. Section 259.001 prohibits any city ordinance from regulating political signs on private property more restrictively than the Election Code allows. Texas Property Code Section 202.009 restricts HOA authority over political signs. HOAs may not prohibit political signs on a property owner's lot. HOAs may regulate the size (up to a maximum of one sign per candidate or measure, with a total display area limit), the number of signs, and the timing of sign display. Signs may generally be displayed beginning 90 days before an election and must be removed within 10 days after the election. HOAs cannot require prior approval for political sign placement. Flower Mound's general sign ordinance in Chapter 98 defers to state law on political signs and does not impose additional restrictions beyond public right-of-way prohibitions.
