Frequently Asked Questions

How many political signs can I put up in Midwest City?
One per street frontage, per land parcel, for each candidate or ballot issue: the limit applies separately to each race or measure, not citywide.
When do political signs have to come down?
Within three days after election day. The city can seize noncompliant or overdue signs and charges a $5 removal fee plus $1 per sign to reclaim them within 10 days.
Does this rule apply near Tinker Air Force Base or in Oklahoma City?
Only inside Midwest City limits. Tinker AFB is federal property with its own rules, and Oklahoma City, Del City and Choctaw enforce their own separate sign codes.
