Political campaign signs across Oahu are regulated as temporary signs under ROH Sec. 21-7.20, with size and placement limits that vary by zoning district.
ROH Sec. 21-7.20 establishes definitions and general sign standards under the Land Use Ordinance. Political campaign signs are treated as temporary signs subject to the size, height, and setback limits for the underlying zoning district. Signs in public rights-of-way are prohibited under Sec. 21-7.30, and off-premise political signs on private property require the owner's consent and must respect sight-distance rules at driveways and intersections. Article 7 also sets removal timelines so that campaign signage does not become long-term display.
Signs posted in public rights-of-way are subject to removal by the City, and exceeding size or duration limits can result in notices of violation and fines under the LUO.
