Orlando regulates political signs under the sign regulations in the Land Development Code Ch. 58 and Ch. 29. Political signs on private property are broadly protected under the First Amendment and Florida law. Signs may not be placed in public rights-of-way or on utility poles. Temporary political signs on private residential property are generally permitted without a permit, subject to size limitations.
Orlando allows political signs on private property without permits, consistent with First Amendment protections and Florida Statute §106.1435 (which restricts local regulation of political signs). Signs in the public right-of-way are prohibited and subject to removal. Size limits typically apply (generally 4 to 32 square feet depending on zoning district). Signs must be removed within a reasonable time after the election. No permit fees for temporary political signs on residential property.
Signs in right-of-way: removed by city without notice. Oversized signs: notice to remove. No criminal penalties for residential political signs on private property.
