Perris, CA Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

Political signs in the City of Perris are governed by Section 19.75.110(a) of the Sign Regulations (Chapter 19.75, updated by Ordinance No. 1456, adopted May 13, 2025). Political signs associated with any local, state, regional, or national official election are permitted in any zoning district subject to several conditions. No political sign may be placed earlier than 90 calendar days before the election or primary it addresses, and signage must be removed no later than ten calendar days after that election or primary. A single political sign may not exceed 32 square feet for one side or six feet in overall height; no lot may contain political signage exceeding 80 square feet in combined area. Signs may not be erected on a permanent foundation or attached to buildings, fencing, utility poles, utility boxes, or traffic signs, and may not be artificially illuminated. They may not be displayed on city-owned property, though they may be placed in the right-of-way provided they are not on a publicly owned tree or shrub, on the traveled portion of a street, or on a median, and are not suspended over the right-of-way. Signs require the consent of the property owner, and contact information (a responsible name or campaign ID and a valid phone number, in at least half-inch font) must appear on the sign face. A sign left up more than ten days after the election is deemed abandoned and may be removed by the city. The 90-day pre-election window is fairly permissive, but the 10-day removal deadline is firm.
