Full Breakdown
Marysville's sign code carries a substitution clause that expressly protects political speech on signage: regardless of what the rest of the chapter says, noncommercial copy on a personal, political, or religious topic can be swapped onto any lawful sign structure. Political signs are otherwise treated like other temporary signs for size and placement, no permit is required, but they still fall under the general temporary-sign limits on square footage, height, and right-of-way placement in MMC § 22C.160.260.
Violations & Fines
Placing political sign copy on a structure that isn't itself a lawful sign structure, or exceeding the general temporary-sign size and placement limits in MMC § 22C.160.260, remains enforceable even though the message content itself is protected under the substitution clause.
