Political signs in Pinellas Park are regulated under Article 6 of the Land Development Code as temporary signs, with limits on size, placement, and time but no content-based restrictions allowed under the First Amendment.
Pinellas Park's Land Development Code Chapter 18, Article 6 governs all signs, including temporary political and ideological signs. The city treats political campaign signs as temporary signs subject to size limits (typically a few square feet on residential lots), prohibits placement in the public right-of-way, and bars signs that obstruct visibility at intersections. Following Reed v. Town of Gilbert, the city cannot regulate signs based on message content, so political signs are treated the same as other temporary residential signs. Removal is generally required within a reasonable time after the election, and signs may not be illuminated or attached to public property.
Signs in the right-of-way may be removed without notice, and violations of size or placement standards can lead to code enforcement citations and fines.
