Huntsville allows political signs in residential yards under First Amendment protection per Reed v. Town of Gilbert. Signs generally limited to 6 square feet in residential zones with no permit required.
Following Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015) Huntsville sign regulations are content-neutral. Political signs are treated like other temporary signs in residential districts, typically allowed at up to 6 square feet per sign. No permit is required for residential yard signs. Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or on traffic control devices. Sign placement on private property with owner permission is permitted. Huntsville does not impose pre-election or post-election time limits on political signs, as such time-based restrictions on political speech face constitutional scrutiny. HOAs in Huntsville subdivisions often impose stricter private restrictions though Ala. Code 35-8B-1 limits HOA authority on political signs during election season.
Signs in public right-of-way are removed without notice. Repeated illegal placement may result in 50 to 250 dollar citations.
