Madison County imposes no zoning signage rules, so political signs on your own land need no county permit. Alabama Code §23-1-6 bars signs in a state highway right-of-way, the county bars them in its own right-of-way, and no Alabama statute stops an HOA from restricting yard signs.
A property owner in unincorporated Madison County may post political signs on their own land with no county permit or fee; the county's own zoning guidance states there are no zoning requirements for signage, and there is no Madison County local act on political signs in Title 45, Chapter 45. The limits are placement off your land. Section 23-1-6 prohibits signs on the rights-of-way of state-controlled highways except official ones, so ALDOT removes campaign signs staked along state roads, and Madison County prohibits private, business, or other signs within county rights-of-way and public easements.
A political sign placed in a state highway right-of-way violates §23-1-6 and is removed by ALDOT; a sign in a county right-of-way or easement is removed by the county.
