Teaneck regulates political sign size, location, and duration under Chapter 33 sign regulations, but content-based restrictions are limited by the First Amendment.
Teaneck's sign regulations under Chapter 33 of the Township Code govern temporary signs including political and campaign signs. Signs must be placed on private property with the owner's permission and may not be placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or on Township-owned property. Size and setback requirements apply, and signs typically must be removed within a set period after an election. Following Reed v. Town of Gilbert, content-based time limits are constitutionally limited.
Signs in violation may be removed by Township staff. Repeated violations can result in fines under the general code penalty section.
