Political signs protected under First Amendment and Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015). Plant City cannot restrict content but may apply content-neutral time, size, and location rules.
Following Reed v. Town of Gilbert (US Supreme Court 2015), Plant City cannot treat political/campaign signs differently from other temporary signs based on content. Content-neutral rules apply: typical residential signs under 6 sq ft, commercial lots under 32 sq ft, setback from right-of-way, no placement in public right-of-way or attached to utility poles or traffic signs. FL 106.1435 also addresses campaign signage. Signs must be removed within 7-14 days after the election date. Signs blocking sight triangles at intersections are prohibited for safety.
