Political signs in Pickerington are permitted in residential yards without a permit and without duration limits, consistent with the Supreme Court decision in Reed v. Town of Gilbert. Size is generally capped at 6 square feet in residential zones.
Codified Ordinance Chapter 1189 (Sign Code) treats political signs as temporary signs subject to content-neutral size and placement standards. Signs cannot be placed in the public right-of-way or on utility poles. Residential temporary signs are limited to 6 square feet; commercial properties allow up to 32 square feet. Removal within 7 days after an election is encouraged but not mandated after Reed.
Signs in the right-of-way are removed by the city without notice. Oversized signs on private property draw a correction notice with 50 to 100 dollar fines.
