Political signs in Largo are regulated as temporary signs under Comprehensive Development Code Chapter 12, allowed on private property but barred from the public right-of-way and utility poles.
Largo regulates political and other temporary content-neutral signs through Chapter 12 of its Comprehensive Development Code. Property owners may post political signs on their own residential lot consistent with the chapter's size, height, and quantity caps for temporary signs. The city does not allow political signs on public property or within the public right-of-way, including medians, swales, utility poles, and traffic-control structures. Florida Statute 479.16 also restricts on-premises and political signs along state right-of-way. While Florida elections law in Chapter 106 governs disclaimer language on political signs, Largo's role is limited to physical placement, size, and structural safety, since content-based regulation would raise First Amendment concerns under the Reed v. Town of Gilbert framework.
Signs in the right-of-way are subject to immediate removal by city crews, and oversized or improperly placed signs can result in code enforcement citations and per-day fines until corrected.
