Arapahoe County Land Development Code Section 5-2300 treats political signs as temporary signs. Signs are allowed on private residential property without a permit up to 32 sq ft total, must not be placed in the right-of-way, and must be removed within 7 days after the election.
Under Arapahoe County Land Development Code Section 5-2300 (Sign Regulations), political/ideological signs on private property are exempt from permit requirements. Residential properties may display up to 32 total square feet of temporary signs during an election period. Individual signs generally cannot exceed 6 square feet in residential zones or 32 square feet in commercial/industrial zones. Signs must be placed wholly on private property with the owner's consent and cannot be placed in the public right-of-way (typically the strip between sidewalk and curb or road shoulder). Signs cannot obstruct sight-distance triangles at intersections or driveways. Per Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), content-based restrictions are unconstitutional, so durational limits are narrowly drawn: signs must be removed within 7 days after the election.
Signs in the right-of-way are removed by county staff without notice. Sign violations on private property trigger a code enforcement notice with 7 days to cure. Fines up to $500 per day apply for continuing violations after notice.
