DeKalb County allows political signs on private property under Sign Ordinance (Chapter 21). No permits required. OCGA §32-6-51 prohibits signs in state right-of-way. Content-neutral rules apply per Reed v. Town of Gilbert.
DeKalb County Code Chapter 21 (Sign Ordinance) permits temporary political signs on private residential property without permit, typically limited to 6 sq ft in residential zones and up to 32 sq ft in commercial zones. Signs must not be placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or on public property — OCGA §32-6-51 makes right-of-way signs subject to removal by GDOT or the county. Signs must not obstruct sight triangles at intersections (visibility clearance typically 30 feet from corner). After Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), DeKalb's rules are content-neutral, applying to all temporary signs regardless of message. Removal is recommended within 7 days after the election.
Signs in right-of-way: removal by county without notice, no fine for first offense. Signs obstructing sight triangle: immediate removal and possible $50 citation. Repeat violations: up to $200 in Recorder's Court.
