Orangeburg County, SC Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

2 puts 'Political' signs in the 'A' column, allowed without prior permit approval, across all nine district columns, RS, RG, RO, CN, CG, BI, FA, RC and INS, so a political sign can go up in any zoning district in the unincorporated county without applying for a sign permit first. ' Condition C, written for Posters, bars the sign from telephone or power poles and from the public right-of-way generally, and requires it to sit no closer than five feet from a street or curb; the Political row's 'C/G' code applies that same placement condition to political signs.

Condition G is specific to political signs: political signs shall be removed within 60 days after an election. Read together, a homeowner, campaign or PAC may post a 32-square-foot political sign on private property in any zoning district without a permit, but it cannot be attached to a utility pole, cannot sit in the county right-of-way, needs a five-foot buffer from the curb, and must come down within 60 days of whichever election it references, win or lose.
