Saline County, AR Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

02, adopted by the Quorum Court as Ord. No. 1995-007 on February 21, 1995, the 20-day removal clock runs from any "final election," a term defined broadly to include a general election, a school board election, a special election, or even a primary election if the candidate displaying the sign was defeated in that primary. Leaving a sign up past that date, or failing to take it down, is charged against the candidate as an unclassified misdemeanor. Each sign still displayed after the deadline counts as a separate offense, so a candidate with several roadside signs left standing can be cited multiple times rather than once.

The ordinance carves out one exception: it does not reach billboards, provided the billboard space was rented only through the date of the final election, recognizing that a paid lease may run past election day on its own schedule. Because Saline County does not zone, this section sits in Chapter 3 (Law Enforcement) rather than in a land-use chapter, and it applies only within the unincorporated county; Benton, Bryant, Bauxite, Haskell, Shannon Hills and Traskwood enforce their own municipal sign rules inside their city limits.
