Macomb County does not regulate political or yard signs on private property. Sign rules are set by each city, village, or township, and all local sign ordinances must comply with the First Amendment and the Supreme Court's Reed v. Town of Gilbert ruling.
Political and election signs on private property in Macomb County are governed by local sign ordinances, not by the county. Under the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, each city, village, and township adopts its own sign regulations, which typically limit sign size and total area and require signs to stay out of the right-of-way and clear of sight-distance triangles at corners. Since Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), local governments generally may not treat political signs differently from other temporary signs based on their message, so a Macomb community cannot impose special durations or size limits only on political signs. Signs in the right-of-way or on county drain or roadway property may be removed by the road authority.
Placing political signs in the public right-of-way, blocking sight lines at intersections, or exceeding the local size or total-area limits can lead to removal by the municipality or road authority and civil fines under the local sign ordinance.
