Oklahoma County political signs protected by First Amendment and Oklahoma Constitution Art. II §22. Oklahoma City §3-471 allows political signs on private property up to 16 sq ft residential, 32 sq ft commercial. Right-of-way placement prohibited. Content-neutral rules per Reed v. Gilbert (2015). No permit required.
Oklahoma County political sign regulation must comply with First Amendment and Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015) content-neutrality requirements. Oklahoma City §3-471 permits political signs on private residential property up to 16 square feet and 6 feet in height without a permit. Commercial and industrial properties may display signs up to 32 square feet. Multi-family properties can display one sign per dwelling unit. Signs in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, traffic signs, and on public property are prohibited under OKC §3-455 — violations result in immediate removal by the city. Temporary signs must not obstruct traffic sight triangles at intersections (30-foot visibility triangle). Oklahoma state law 26 O.S. §16-108 prohibits signs within 300 feet of polling places on election day. OKC and Edmond do not impose post-election removal deadlines beyond general time, place, and manner rules (typically interpreted as removal within a reasonable period, 7-14 days). Campaign signs cannot be attached to trees or posted in parks. Sign content may not be regulated — only size, height, location, and number. First Amendment jurisprudence (Reed v. Gilbert) means cities cannot require smaller political signs than commercial signs.
Signs in right-of-way: immediate removal by OKC, no fine typically. Oversized signs: notice to reduce or remove within 10 days. Within 300 ft of polling place on election day: state misdemeanor under 26 O.S. §16-108. Attached to utility poles: removal plus $25 to $100 fine.
