Weber County, UT Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

The temporary sign table in Section 110-2-11 lists 'Political sign' with a Display Period and Removal Required timeframe both marked 'No limit,' and marks the Land Use Permit or Special Event Permit column 'N,' meaning none is required, unlike campaign signs which the same table caps to the period 60 days before an election through completion of the election. In the Agricultural, Forest, and Residential zones, a political sign is capped at 16 square feet in area, up to 10 feet in height including its support structure, at a rate of one per street frontage.

In the Commercial, Manufacturing, and Resort zones, the same sign type is allowed at up to 32 square feet, still 10 feet tall, still one per street frontage. Political signs share the table's general setback standards for temporary signs: they must sit entirely on private property, be placed at least ten feet behind the sidewalk (or behind the curb or pavement where there is no sidewalk), and stay outside the sight-distance triangle at intersections under Section 108-7-7.030. The ordinance is explicit that these placement rules regulate only the location and manner of temporary signs, not their content: 'Temporary signs in this section shall in no way regulate the content of speech, only the place and manner in which it is permitted.' Because political signs carry no display period, they are the only occasional sign type in the table not tied to an election cycle or event date for either posting or removal.
