Political signs are allowed in Saint Michael under Sec. 155.084 (Signs Allowed Without a Permit) and Minn. Stat. § 211B.045, which preempts city size limits during the period from 46 days before a state primary through 10 days after a general election. Outside the protected window, the city's general sign rules apply.
Minn. Stat. § 211B.045 controls noncommercial speech signs during the protected election period — local size limits in non-commercial-zoned property are unenforceable during that window. Sec. 155.084 allows signs posted by government and public utilities in all districts without a permit, and the city follows the state framework for political signs the rest of the year (a typical residential limit applies — small noncommercial signs are universally allowed on the resident's own property). Political signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way or attached to public property (utility poles, traffic signs, trees on the boulevard).
Signs in the right-of-way or attached to public property are subject to removal by the city and forfeiture of the sign. Citation under Sec. 10.99 — misdemeanor, up to $1,000.
