Williamson County, TN Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

08(B)(2) names political preference signs directly within the list of non-commercial temporary signs a residential property may display alongside real estate, garage sale, lost-pet and event signs. Those signs share one combined lot-wide cap: no more than five temporary non-commercial signs on the lot at any time under (B)(3), with total sign area for all of them capped at 30 square feet, no single sign over 16 square feet, and a maximum height of six feet under (B)(4). Where garage sale signs, event signs and real estate signs are all subject to the 60-day annual display cap or a 48-hour post-event removal clock in subsections (B)(6) through (B)(8), subsection (B)(9) carves out a specific exception: for the purpose of this subsection, political signs shall not have a time limit in which to be removed.

That means a political sign can legally stay up indefinitely between election cycles as long as the lot stays within the five-sign count and 30-square-foot area cap. 08(C)(2), which lists political preference signs among the temporary non-commercial signs a business lot may display, capped at five signs, 30 square feet total, 16 square feet per sign, and expressly repeats in (C)(2)(h) that political signs carry no removal time limit there either. 08(A) still bars any political sign, like all temporary signs, from a local right-of-way, and from a state right-of-way unless TDOT authorizes it. 04 permanent Sign Permit process.
