Political signs allowed on private property in Monroe County municipalities. Rochester Zoning Code §120-173 permits temporary signs up to 16 sq ft. Right-of-way placement prohibited. Post Reed v. Gilbert (2015), content-neutral rules apply — no election-period timers.
Rochester Zoning Code §120-173 allows temporary signs including political signs up to 16 square feet on residential property, up to 32 square feet in commercial districts, without a permit. Signs in public right-of-way (between sidewalk and street, utility poles, traffic signs) are prohibited and subject to removal by DPW. Town of Brighton §203-30 and Irondequoit §235 have similar content-neutral temporary sign rules. Post Reed v. Town of Gilbert (576 U.S. 155, 2015), municipalities cannot set removal deadlines tied to election dates — durational limits must apply equally to all temporary signs.
Signs in right-of-way: removal by municipality, possible $25-$100 fine. Oversized signs: notice to reduce or remove within 10 days. Repeated violations: citation.
