Greenville County's sign ordinance is content-neutral, so political signs are handled as on-premises yard signs. No more than three yard signs are allowed without a permit, each no larger than six square feet and no taller than five feet, and none may be placed in the road right-of-way.
The Greenville County Sign Regulations (Chapter 19) do not single out political signs; instead they are regulated as on-premises yard signs, which need no permit. No more than three on-premises yard signs may be displayed (with one more allowed per additional 250 feet of frontage above the first 250 feet). Each yard sign may not exceed six square feet in area or five feet in height, and yard signs are permitted in any use area unless a Special Use Area restricts them. No sign other than an official traffic sign may be placed within the road right-of-way, so campaign signs must stay on private property. Cities have separate campaign-sign rules.
Signs placed in the road right-of-way are prohibited and may be removed; the person who illegally placed a sign in the public right-of-way may be cited and fined under the sign ordinance.
