Rocklin treats political signs as 'temporary noncommercial signs' under Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 17.75 (Signs on Private Property). They may be posted on private property with the owner's permission, capped at 16 sq ft and 6 ft tall, displayed up to 45 days before the election and removed within 5 days after. Before posting, the responsible party must file a Statement of Responsibility with the City Clerk and post a $500 refundable deposit. Signs in the city right-of-way or on public property are removed by staff at $25 per sign deducted from the deposit.
Per the city's Temporary Noncommercial Signs program (RMC Ch. 17.75): max 16 sq ft area, max 6 ft height, set back at least 5 ft from any property line, no closer than 15 ft to a fire hydrant, street sign, or traffic signal, and only on private property with owner permission. Display window is the 45 days before the general or special election (as defined in the California Elections Code) through 5 days after. The City Clerk requires a Statement of Responsibility and a $500 refundable deposit (returned absent violations) before installation. Note: California Elections Code section 13312 separately limits state-permitted political sign rules in the public right-of-way, but Rocklin's local restriction is on private property only.
Improperly placed signs are removed by city staff at $25 per sign, charged against the deposit. Signs in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or affixed to traffic signs are subject to immediate removal and administrative citation. Failure to remove within 5 days after the election forfeits part or all of the $500 deposit.
