Woodbury, MN Sign Regulations: Political Signs (2026)

Woodbury says it can decide where campaign signs are permitted, while Minnesota state law dictates how long they may be displayed. Under the city's campaign sign regulations, signs are prohibited on property owned by the city, county, and school district(s), and prohibited in the right-of-way along county roadways (such as Radio Drive, Valley Creek Road, and Woodbury Drive), state roadways (such as Manning Avenue and Century Drive), and interstate roadways (such as I-94). On private property, permission must be obtained from the owner before placing a sign, and the owner may withdraw permission at any time. Where a sign is on private property adjacent to a city right-of-way, it must be located at least five feet back from the curb or shoulder of the road; if that five-foot setback would place the sign on a trail or sidewalk, it must be on the dwelling side of the sidewalk. Candidates must take down signs within 10 days after the election. On Election Day, no campaigning materials (signs, literature, bumper stickers, clothing, etc.) are allowed on public property within 100 feet of a polling location. The display-duration window is set by Minnesota Statutes section 211B.045, which provides that noncommercial signs of any size may be posted in any number beginning 46 days before the state primary in a state general election year until 10 days after the state general election.
