Political signs on private property in Rancho Cordova are protected speech and may not be banned or subjected to more restrictive size limits than other temporary signs. Signs are prohibited in the public right-of-way.
Under the First Amendment and California Elections Code Section 20008, political and campaign signs on private residential property are strongly protected. Rancho Cordova treats political signs as a type of temporary noncommercial sign, with size limits (commonly 6 square feet per face in residential zones) that match limits on other temporary signs, avoiding content-based discrimination under Reed v. Town of Gilbert. Signs may be posted 90 days before an election under Elections Code 20008 and must be removed within 10 days after the election. Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way, on traffic control devices, on utility poles, or on other public property. HOAs within Rancho Cordova cannot prohibit political signs on members' separate interests per Civil Code 4710, though they may adopt reasonable time, place, and size rules.
