Political signs are unregulated by Mobile County on private property — the county has no sign ordinance. Alabama Code §23-1-6 bars signs in a state highway right-of-way, and no Alabama statute stops an HOA from restricting yard signs.
A property owner in unincorporated Mobile County may post political signs on their own land with no county permit or fee; the county has adopted no sign ordinance and, unlike neighboring Baldwin County, has no local act on political signs. The limit is placement off your land: §23-1-6 prohibits signs on the rights-of-way of state-controlled highways except official ones, so ALDOT and county crews remove campaign signs staked along the road. Alabama gives political signs no special statutory protection on private property, and its Homeowners' Association Act, §35-20-1 et seq., contains no political-sign guarantee — so a subdivision's deed restrictions may lawfully limit or ban yard signs.
A political sign placed in a state highway right-of-way violates §23-1-6 and is removed by ALDOT or county crews. Inside a subdivision, sign violations draw the covenant fines the HOA sets.
