Indian River County, FL Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

The county's sign code is content-neutral after Reed v. Town of Gilbert, so a campaign sign is regulated like any other temporary sign, regardless of its message. On a single-family residential parcel a temporary sign may not exceed four square feet in area or five feet in height, and no permit is required. Section 956.04 provides that no fee is charged for temporary political signs. Signs may not sit in a public or private road right-of-way or block a corner sight-visibility triangle. The code sets no election-timing window, since content-based deadlines did not survive the rewrite. HOAs and CDDs are common across the county, and the cities of Vero Beach and Sebastian run their own sign codes.
