Medina, OH Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

The Codified Ordinances do not define or separately regulate political signs. 12(e), which permits one temporary ground sign for each single-family dwelling unit, one temporary ground sign for each two-family dwelling unit, and one temporary ground sign for each multi-family residential building, not to exceed six square feet in area. For a residential use, the section says the sign may be erected for an unspecified time, so Medina places no fixed take-down date on a lawn sign at a house or apartment building the way many suburbs do for post-election removal.

The unspecified-time allowance applies only to the residential-use category; the same subsection caps a nonresidential temporary sign at fifteen consecutive days and no more than sixty days total in a year, and treats real-estate signs and event signs on separate seven-day removal clocks that do not apply to a political sign at a home. 12 sits within the chapter governing signs for residential uses in all districts, so the six-square-foot, one-per-dwelling-unit limit applies in every zoning district in the City, not only the R-1 through R-4 districts named earlier in the section.

03(d), does not mention political or campaign signs, so a political sign is not exempt from the size or placement standards; it is simply folded into the generic temporary-sign allowance that applies to any residential lawn sign.
