Wyoming's sign rules sit in Chapter 90 (Zoning), Article 7. After Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015), the City regulates political signs through content-neutral size, height, and placement standards. Signs must stay on private property with owner permission and out of the public right-of-way.
Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 576 U.S. 155 (2015) struck down sign codes that applied different rules to political or campaign signs based on message. Wyoming's sign regulations therefore appear in Chapter 90 (Zoning), Article 7, and apply content-neutral standards to all temporary residential and small commercial signs regardless of message. Typical content-neutral standards include limits on aggregate square footage per residential parcel, height caps, setbacks from the curb, sight-distance triangles at intersections, no attachment to utility poles or trees, and a flat ban on signs in the public right-of-way. MDOT rules (Mich. Admin. Code R 247) prohibit signs in state-highway right-of-way along US-131, I-196, M-11 (28th Street/Wilson Avenue), and M-6. Michigan Election Law MCL 168.744 bars electioneering — including signs and apparel — within 100 feet of the doorway of a polling place on Election Day.
Signs exceeding size or height, in public right-of-way, on utility poles, or blocking sight triangles are removed by Code Enforcement and cited in the 62-A District Court. MDOT removes signs in state-highway right-of-way along US-131, I-196, M-11, and M-6. Electioneering inside the 100-foot polling buffer violates MCL 168.744 and is a misdemeanor.
