Political and campaign signs supporting candidates or measures on primary, general, or special election ballots are exempt sign types in all zoning districts under § 14.04.08.
Lake Havasu City's sign regulations in § 14.04.08 (Signs) categorize political and campaign signs as exempt from the standard permit process in all zoning districts. This aligns with Arizona's statewide political sign protection in ARS §16-1019, which protects election-related signage in public rights-of-way during defined campaign periods. Signs may not be placed in a manner creating a traffic hazard, on private property without permission, or on prohibited sites such as utility poles. Removal timing typically follows ARS §16-1019 — within 15 days after the election for losing candidates.
Code Enforcement may remove non-compliant signs without notice in the right-of-way; civil fines apply for repeated abuse.
