Toledo permits temporary political signs on private property without a permit, subject to content-neutral size and placement rules. Supreme Court Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015) limits content-based distinctions between sign types.
Toledo sign regulations in TMC Chapter 1381 must comply with Reed v. Town of Gilbert (135 S. Ct. 2218, 2015) which held content-based sign restrictions must survive strict scrutiny. As a result Toledo treats political, real estate, and other temporary signs under uniform content-neutral rules: typically maximum 6 square feet per sign in residential zones, one sign per candidate or issue per street frontage, no illumination, placed entirely on private property at least 1 foot from sidewalks and outside the public right-of-way, and not attached to utility poles, traffic signs, or trees. Ohio Revised Code 3599.09 prohibits political signs at polling places within 100 feet. Removal is typically required within a reasonable time after the election (often 7 to 15 days).
Sign in right-of-way: removed by city without notice. Oversized or illuminated: notice to remove, 50 to 200 dollar fine if not corrected.
