Paulding County's Chapter 67 sign ordinance regulates yard signs content-neutrally, so political signs sit under the same size and placement limits as other temporary signs. Off your property, O.C.G.A. §32-6-51 makes it unlawful to stake any sign in a public road right-of-way.
On your own land, Paulding County's Chapter 67 sign ordinance treats a campaign sign as a temporary sign, regulated by size and placement rather than message — the content-neutral approach required after Reed v. Town of Gilbert. Yard-size temporary signs generally need no permit. The firm line is off your property: O.C.G.A. §32-6-51 makes it unlawful to erect a sign within the dedicated right-of-way of any public road, so GDOT and county crews pull campaign signs staked along US 278, GA 6, and state routes like GA 61 and GA 92. In deed-restricted subdivisions, HOA covenants add their own limits; Georgia gives yard political signs no special shield from them.
A sign in a public-road right-of-way violates O.C.G.A. §32-6-51, a misdemeanor, and is removed by GDOT or the county. Oversized or off-site private signs draw a county code-enforcement notice; HOA violations bring covenant fines.
