Political signs in Pomona are protected by the First Amendment and CA Elections Code. Temporary political signs are permitted on private property during election periods without a permit.
Pomona regulates political signs through its general sign ordinance while respecting First Amendment free speech protections. Political signs on private property are generally allowed with size restrictions, typically 6 to 32 square feet depending on zoning. Signs in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, and on public property are prohibited. Signs must not obstruct traffic sight lines or create safety hazards. Most jurisdictions require removal within 7 to 30 days after the election. Yard signs do not typically require permits. Content-based restrictions on political speech are unconstitutional per Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015).
Signs in right-of-way: removal by city, possible fine $25 to $100. Oversized signs: notice to reduce. Failure to remove post-election: fines $25 to $50 per day after grace period.
