Pearl City political campaign signs are temporary signs under Honolulu's sign ordinance, permit-exempt but barred from public rights-of-way.
ROH Sec. 21-7.20 addresses temporary political campaign signs, which are generally permit-exempt but must comply with district size standards. Sec. 21-7.30 bars off-premise signs in public rights-of-way, meaning no signs on utility poles, medians, or public land. Pearl City residents, including those in military rental housing, should confirm with the property owner before posting signs. Signs should be removed promptly after the election date. Federal military installations enforce separate rules prohibiting political signage on base housing properties.
Posting on utility poles, exceeding size limits, leaving signs up after the election, or placing on public land.
