Political signs in West Palm Beach are allowed on private property without a permit, max 6 sq ft in residential and 32 sq ft in commercial zones. Must be removed within 7 days after the election.
City Code Sign Regulations Chapter 94 treat political signs as temporary signs allowed on private property with owner consent. Residential: 6 sq ft maximum face area, 4 ft height.
