Political signs on residential property in North Port are governed by ULDC Chapter 29 (Sign Regulations), which was specifically preserved when Ord. 2024-13 reorganized the rest of the ULDC effective October 28, 2024. Political signs are largely protected by First Amendment doctrine (Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 576 U.S. 155 (2015)).
Post-Reed v. Gilbert, content-based regulation of political signs is subject to strict scrutiny. Most Florida cities limit political signs only via time/place/manner restrictions: size caps, prohibition in the public ROW, and removal after election day. ULDC Ch. 29 (preserved in 2024) controls. Specific size caps and post-election removal windows should be confirmed with the Building/Planning Division for current campaign cycles.
Signs in the ROW or above size caps can be summarily removed by Code Enforcement. Failure to remove post-election signs within the window triggers citation up to $250-$500.
