Miramar, FL Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

LDC § 1010 lists the 'Political sign' as one of the exempt sign types in Chapter 10, meaning it needs no separate sign or building permit, but the section still sets firm limits. Political signs cannot go on a utility pole, cannot be placed on public property or within a public right-of-way, and cannot sit inside a sight triangle where they would obstruct a driver's or pedestrian's view. On private property, each parcel may carry one or more political signs per candidate or ballot issue, but the combined area per candidate or issue on that parcel cannot exceed 48 square feet.

Timing is bracketed on both ends: a sign cannot go up earlier than 90 days before the election it relates to, or the date the candidate qualifies for the ballot if that comes later, and whoever placed the sign, or their designee, must take it down within seven days after the election. A separate 'supplemental pre-election posting' provision lets signs go up no earlier than five days before early voting begins where that timeline is shorter. 031(4)(a). Because political signs are content-based speech, the city applies these rules uniformly rather than screening messages, focusing purely on placement, size and timing.
