Hesperia Municipal Code Chapter 16.36 (Sign Regulations), implemented via Ord. 2007-05 and posted by the City Clerk, allows political/campaign signs to be placed no earlier than 60 days before an election and requires removal within 15 days after election day. Signs left up are removed by the city. California BPC §5405.3 caps state-highway temporary political signs at 32 sq ft and bars them from Caltrans right-of-way.
The City of Hesperia's official Campaign Sign Ordinance page directs candidates to Chapter 16.36 of the Hesperia Development Code (sign regulations) and Ordinance No. 2007-05. The 60-days-before / 15-days-after window is published by the City Clerk (City Clerk: 760-947-1026; Code Enforcement: 760-947-1343). Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, in medians, or on traffic-control devices — these are 'non-permitted signs' under §16.36.010 and city code enforcement guidance. State-highway frontages (I-15, US-395, SR-138, SR-173 through Hesperia) are additionally governed by Caltrans under Business & Professions Code §5405.3: temporary political signs are exempt from outdoor-advertising display permits only if they are ≤32 sq ft, contain a name/address of the responsible party, are not within Caltrans right-of-way, have written owner permission, are not lit, and are taken down within 90 days of placement. San Bernardino County right-of-way (county roads) is policed separately by County Code Enforcement (909-387-4044).
Signs placed before the 60-day window, left up past 15 days post-election, or installed in the public right-of-way are removed by City Code Enforcement at the campaign's expense and may trigger administrative citations under Hesperia Municipal Code Chapter 1.16 (general penalty: up to $100 first offense, $200 second, $500 third within a year). Signs on Caltrans right-of-way (I-15, US-395 medians, SR-138, SR-173) are removed by Caltrans and the responsible party can be billed for removal costs under BPC §5405.3.
