Political signs protected under First Amendment and CA Elections Code. Cannot be banned on private property during election periods.
Santa Clarita regulates political signs through its general sign ordinance while respecting First Amendment free speech protections. Political signs on private property are generally allowed with size restrictions, typically 6 to 32 square feet depending on zoning. Signs in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, and on public property are prohibited. Signs must not obstruct traffic sight lines or create safety hazards. Most jurisdictions require removal within 7 to 30 days after the election. Yard signs do not typically require permits. Content-based restrictions on political speech are unconstitutional per Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015).
Signs in right-of-way: removal by city, possible fine $25 to $100. Oversized signs: notice to reduce. Failure to remove post-election: fines $25 to $50 per day after grace period.
