Political signs on your own land in unincorporated Washington County need no county permit. The firm limit is placement: Ark. Code §27-67-304 holds state highway rights-of-way inviolate and bars every sign but traffic signs, so ARDOT removes campaign signs staked along state roads.
A property owner in the unincorporated county may post political signs on private land without a county permit or fee. The real restriction is where a sign sits. Section 27-67-304 declares the rights-of-way of all state highways inviolate and prohibits signs other than traffic signs or signals within those limits, so the Arkansas Department of Transportation pulls campaign signs planted along highways like US 62 or AR 265. Fayetteville and Springdale enforce their own detailed, content-neutral sign codes inside city limits, consistent with Reed v. Town of Gilbert. In a deed-restricted subdivision, the homeowners' association's covenants may further limit yard signs.
A political sign in a state highway right-of-way violates §27-67-304 and is removed by ARDOT. Inside a city or subdivision, sign violations draw the fines that the city code or HOA covenants set.
