Ridgewood Village regulates campaign and political signs through its land use code, controlling where signs may be placed and requiring timely removal after elections to maintain neighborhood appearance.
Section 190-122 of Chapter 190 (Land Use and Development) governs signs throughout Ridgewood, including political and campaign signage. Ordinance 3540 amended Chapter 190 to establish specific rules for political signs in all zoning districts, identifying prohibited placement locations and setting removal deadlines tied to election dates. Campaign signs are typically required to be removed no later than 20 days after the General Election. Signs must not obstruct sight lines, occupy the public right-of-way, or be affixed to utility poles or trees.
Violations can result in sign removal by the Village and code enforcement penalties under the general zoning enforcement provisions, including fines for noncompliance with placement and removal requirements.
