Vallejo, CA Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

070 as any sign urging the election or defeat of any candidate seeking political office, or urging the passage or defeat of any ballot measure, excluding commercial billboards. 080 balance a candidate's speech rights against the public's right to safe and unobstructed travel over the public rights-of-way and the need to keep public buildings and grounds neutral during campaigns. 090 bans posting a political campaign sign on any public-agency building, in any city park or landscaped public ground, on a flagpole or tree owned by a public agency, on or near any traffic-control sign or device, or anywhere the sign blocks a driver's or pedestrian's view of a traffic control device or otherwise obstructs the safe passage of pedestrians and cyclists.

100 adds a timing rule: no sign may go up more than ninety days before the election it concerns, and every sign must come down within thirty days after that election. 170: the director of public works may enter the property to remove a violating sign, must first attempt twenty-four hours' telephone notice to the responsible party when contact is possible, and may skip notice altogether if the responsible party cannot be found. Removed signs are stored for at least ninety days and returned on payment of a five-dollar recovery fee per sign, or the city's actual labor and equipment cost for signs needing special removal effort.
