Seminole permits political signs on private property as protected speech. Signs cannot be placed in rights-of-way, must comply with size and setback rules, and must be removed shortly after the election.
Under Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), Seminole's sign code must regulate political signs on a content-neutral basis. The city's Code of Ordinances generally permits temporary signs on private residential property without a permit, subject to size limits (typically 6 square feet for residential, 32 square feet for non-residential), setback from property lines, and a maximum height. Political signs may not be placed in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, or on public property. Florida Statute 106.1435 prohibits removal of campaign signs and addresses related campaign signage rules. Removal is generally required within a set period after the election.
Signs in rights-of-way can be removed without notice. Code violations may result in citations of $50 to $250 per sign, escalating with repeat offenses.
