Kansas state law prohibits cities and counties from regulating the placement or number of political signs on private property during the 45 days before any election and the two days after the election, with narrow safety exceptions.
Under K.S.A. 25-2711, no Kansas city, county, or other political subdivision may regulate or prohibit the placement of, or the number of, political signs on private property or on the unpaved right-of-way for city streets or county roads on private property during the 45-day period before any election and the two-day period after the election. Local governments retain limited authority to regulate sign size and set-back distances solely to protect sight lines and traffic safety. The Kansas Attorney General has confirmed the statute's constitutionality. HOA covenants are not affected by this preemption.
Local ordinances conflicting with K.S.A. 25-2711 are unenforceable. Property owners may sue municipalities or seek injunctive relief; sign removal during the protected window may expose officials to liability.
