Arizona strongly protects political signs. A.R.S. §16-1019 lets you place them in the public right-of-way from 71 days before an election through 15 days after, and Coconino County's zoning code does not require a permit for a campaign sign on private property. HOAs cannot ban them under §33-1808.
Political speech gets the widest berth of any sign in Arizona. On your own property a campaign sign for a candidate or ballot measure needs no county permit, and A.R.S. §16-1019 goes further: a city, town, or county may not remove a political sign lawfully placed in the public right-of-way during the window running seventy-one days before an election through fifteen days after, provided it meets size and contact-information rules. Signs may not block traffic sight lines. Along state highways such as Interstate 40, Interstate 17, US-89, and SR-89A into Sedona, ADOT controls the right-of-way. Flagstaff's dark-sky lighting code restricts bright and internally illuminated signs citywide. Under A.R.S. §33-1808 a homeowners' association cannot prohibit political signs.
A conforming political sign in the right-of-way may not be removed during the protected window; a jurisdiction that removes it must give notice and hold it. Knowingly defacing or removing another's political sign is a class 2 misdemeanor under §16-1019.
