Summary

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.
