Political signs are defined as a temporary sign used in connection with a local, state, or national election or referendum. Campaign signs may be placed on private property.
Political signs may not be placed on rights-of-way, or on trees, utility poles, fences, fire escapes, elevated water storage tanks, or traffic signs, nor placed on any public property, and may not be illuminated.   
 Any political sign placed in a public right-of-way may be removed by the City and the candidate billed for each sign removal. 
 Political signs shall be mounted no higher than 4 feet above ground level and be less than 9 square feet in area in all residential districts and 24 square feet in all other districts. 
It shall be the responsibility of the candidate’s sponsor and the private property owners to place political signs in conformance with this requirement and erect and remove them in a timely manner.
