Summary

Political signs in Lehi need no sign permit at all: Section 23.070.J of the Development Code lists political signs among the exemptions from Chapter 23's permitting regulations, so campaign signage can go up on private property without a Zoning Administrator review or a filing fee.

The following shall be exempt from the permitting regulations of this chapter: ... J. political signs;

Full Breakdown

J places political signs on the list of eighteen sign types exempt from the permitting regulations of Chapter 23, alongside flags, decals, and public art. A lists preserving and protecting the constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech and expression in the display of signs as the first objective of the entire sign ordinance. 100, such as the 30-day display cap, reach a campaign sign. The exemption from permitting is not an exemption from every rule in the chapter, though. J requires that any sign on private property have the property owner's written permission, so a sign planted in a neighbor's yard without asking is not authorized just because it is political.

E caps any sign over three feet tall inside the clear-view triangle at a street intersection. I even though it never needed a permit to go up.

Violations & Fines

A political sign in the right-of-way, blocking a clear-view triangle, or posted without the owner's permission can be removed under the City's general sign-hazard authority in Section 23.050.I even though no permit was ever required. A broader Development Code violation is a class C misdemeanor under Section 34.010.D, each ten-day period of continued noncompliance a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a campaign yard sign in Lehi?
No. Section 23.070.J exempts "political signs" outright from the permitting regulations of Chapter 23, so you can post one without applying to the City or paying a sign-permit fee, a treatment other exempt categories like flags and public art also receive.
Can I put a political sign in the road right-of-way or park strip?
No. Section 23.050.C bars any sign other than a public or quasi-public sign from being placed in or extending into a public right-of-way, and a political sign on someone else's park strip needs their written permission under Section 23.050.J.
Is there a size or time limit on political signs?
Chapter 23 sets none for political signs specifically since they are fully exempt from its permitting and temporary-sign rules; the only citywide limits that still reach them are the general placement rules, such as staying out of the right-of-way and the three-foot height cap inside intersection clear-view triangles.
