Campaign signs in Pico Rivera may go up no sooner than 90 days before an election and must come down within 10 days after. They must sit on private property with the owner's consent, stay under 32 square feet, and are barred from the public right-of-way.
The city's political-sign guidelines, which track state law, allow temporary signs that encourage a vote in a scheduled election. A sign may be placed no earlier than 90 days before the election and must be removed within 10 days after it. Signs must be on private property with the owner's prior consent and cannot go in the public right-of-way, including parkways, medians, public trees, utility poles, or fences along flood-control channels. Under California Business and Professions Code 5405.3, a temporary political sign may be no larger than 32 square feet. Because political speech is First Amendment-protected, the city's restrictions stay content-neutral, focusing on placement, size, and timing. The city may remove improperly placed signs at the candidate's expense.
Signs left up past the 10-day post-election window or placed in the public right-of-way may be removed by the city at the responsible candidate's expense, without prior notice.
