Galloway regulates temporary signs, including political signs, under § 233-10 of the Land Management ordinance. Political signs are a permitted temporary sign type but are subject to size, placement, and time limits; note that content-based limits on political speech are constrained by First Amendment law (Reed v. Town of Gilbert).
Section 233-10 (Sign regulations) of Galloway's Chapter 233 governs signs township-wide and includes temporary signs advertising political parties or candidates for election. Temporary signs generally must be located on private property with the owner's consent, must not obstruct sightlines or the public right-of-way, and must be removed within a set period after the event or election. Because the U.S. Supreme Court's Reed v. Town of Gilbert decision limits singling out political or other signs by content, Galloway (like all NJ municipalities) enforces temporary-sign standards on a content-neutral basis for size, duration, and placement. Confirm the current § 233-10 size limit and removal deadline with Code Enforcement before posting.
Signs in the public right-of-way, oversized signs, or signs left up past the allowed period may be removed by the township and cited under Chapter 233, Article IX, with fines under the general penalty schedule.
