North Richland Hills, TX Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

Political signs in North Richland Hills are governed by a layered framework. At the state level, Texas Election Code Chapter 259 regulates campaign signage including limits on placement in public right of way and proximity to polling places. Texas Property Code Section 202.009 explicitly prohibits property owners' associations (HOAs) from banning political signs on an owner's property within 90 days before and 10 days after an election, though HOAs may regulate size (not less than 2 square feet), materials, lighting, placement, and number (at least one sign per candidate or issue) as long as restrictions are reasonable. City sign ordinance limits for temporary and political signs generally allow signs on private property of up to 6 square feet in residential areas without a permit, with larger commercial political signage subject to the temporary sign provisions. Political signs cannot be placed in the public right of way, on utility poles, in medians, on traffic control devices, or on public property. Signs at polling places must stay 100 feet from the entrance under Texas Election Code. Signs must be removed promptly after the election (typically within 10 days). Illegal signs in the right of way are removed by city staff without notice. Content-based sign regulation is limited by the First Amendment and Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015).
