Jupiter, FL Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

Section 27-3361 regulates every temporary political sign in town. Placement rules in subsection (1) bar political signs from the medians of public rights-of-way and from public property other than the rights-of-way themselves, forbid locations that obstruct vision at corners and intersections or interfere with traffic or pedestrian and bike-path access, and prohibit illumination outright. Subsection (2) limits the count to one temporary political sign per candidate or per issue per residential unit, lot, or parcel, while nonresidential property gets one sign per candidate or issue for every 200 feet of frontage.

Subsection (3) sets size and type: residential signs may not exceed six square feet, nonresidential signs may not exceed 16 square feet, only pole-type signs are allowed, no balloon, bunting, banner, streamer, portable sign, flag, or billboard may be used as a political sign, and no sign may rise higher than six feet above the crown of the adjacent road. Installation is timed under subsection (4): nonresidential signs cannot go up more than 30 calendar days before a primary, general, or run-off election or referendum, though residential signs carry no installation-date restriction, and no political sign may be stapled, taped, nailed, or otherwise fastened to a tree, utility pole, utility post, or street or traffic sign.

Removal follows in subsection (5): nonresidential signs must come down within five calendar days after the election, a winning primary candidate need not remove signs before the general election, and any sign left up past its deadline becomes an abandoned public nuisance the town can remove and bill to the applicant or property owner.
