Full Breakdown

Section 126.18(B) of the Weston Code of Ordinances, titled Noncommercial Signs, is the provision that governs political yard signs and other message signs unrelated to a business. No permit is required in either residential or nonresidential zoning. On Single-Family and MF1 Residential lots, each sign is capped at four square feet, the combined area of all noncommercial signs on a parcel cannot exceed 16 square feet, and signs cannot stand taller than five feet above grade. On Nonresidential and MF2/MF3 Residential lots, the per-sign cap rises to eight square feet with the same 16-square-foot combined cap per parcel, and the height limit rises to six feet above grade.

In every district, a noncommercial sign cannot be displayed for more than 120 consecutive days within any 12-month period, so a sign put up before an election must come down before the next display cycle can begin. Because 126.18(B) sits inside § 126.18, Temporary Signs, it also inherits that section's placement rule: a temporary freestanding sign cannot be placed within the sight triangle of an intersection required under § 125.56 of the City Code, and none of these signs may go in a public or private right-of-way, where the City can remove them and charge a removal fee set by City Commission resolution.

Violations & Fines

A noncommercial sign that exceeds the four/eight-square-foot size cap, the 16-square-foot combined cap, the height limit, or the 120-consecutive-day display window is a Chapter 126 violation. The City may remove any such sign placed in a right-of-way and charge the poster a removal fee set by City Commission resolution, and Code Enforcement can pursue the civil-penalty process under Chapter 31 of the Code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do political yard signs need a permit in Weston, Florida?
No. Section 126.18(B) treats political and other noncommercial signs as permit-free in both residential and nonresidential districts. They still must meet the size, height, and duration limits set out in the same subsection, and they cannot be placed in a public or private right-of-way.
How long can a campaign sign stay in a Weston yard?
Up to 120 consecutive days in any 12-month period. Section 126.18(B) sets that limit for noncommercial signs in every district, so a sign posted well ahead of an election has to come down before the 120-day window runs out even if the election has not yet happened.
How big can a political sign be on a single-family lot in Weston?
No more than four square feet per sign, and no more than 16 square feet combined across all noncommercial signs on the parcel, under 126.18(B). The sign also cannot exceed five feet above grade. Nonresidential and MF2/MF3 lots get a larger eight-square-foot per-sign allowance under the same combined and height rules.
