Washington County allows political signs on private property under CDC 414. Signs in public right-of-way are prohibited and may be removed without notice under ORS 368.942 and R&O 98-197. Content-neutral time/place/manner rules apply per Reed v. Gilbert.
CDC Article IV Section 414 (Signs) treats political signs as temporary non-commercial signs and allows them on private property with owner consent. Typical residential allowance is up to 6 square feet per sign; larger limits apply in commercial zones. No permit is required. Placement in the public right-of-way along county roads is prohibited and signs may be removed by Land Use and Transportation without notice under ORS 368.942 and Washington County Resolution and Order 98-197. Signs cannot be attached to utility poles, signposts, traffic signals, or signal cabinets. After Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), content-based removal deadlines tied to election dates are not enforced; signs must be removed within a reasonable time. Report illegal right-of-way signs to 503-846-7623 (503-846-ROAD).
Signs in right-of-way: removed without notice, no fine typically assessed on first occurrence. Attaching to utility poles or traffic devices: removal and potential citation. Oversized signs on private property: notice to reduce.
