Political signs are protected speech in Livermore, with HOAs preempted from banning them under California Civil Code 4710.
Livermore Municipal Code Title 9 (Sign Ordinance) treats noncommercial political signs as temporary signs allowed on private residential property without a permit. Typical limits: up to 6 square feet per sign in residential zones, 32 square feet in commercial zones, with placement at least 24 hours before an event (election) and removal within 10 days after. California Civil Code 4710 prohibits HOAs from banning noncommercial signs and flags, though HOAs may impose reasonable size and placement rules. Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or on traffic control devices.
Unlawfully placed signs in the public right-of-way may be removed by the city without notice.
