POLITICAL SIGNS. California law allows residents to post “political signs”, subject to certain limitations. A “political sign” is one that relates to any of the following: (a) An election or legislative vote, including an election of a candidate to public office. (b) The initiative, referendum, or recall process. (c) Issues that are before a public commission, public board, or elected local body for a vote. (d) Resident may only post, display or install political signs in the window or door of the rental unit rented by Resident in a multi-family dwelling or in the case of a single-family home, from the yard, window, door, balcony, or outside wall of the premises rented by the Resident. (e) Resident is prohibited from posting or displaying political signs that (1) are more than six square feet in size; (2) violate a local, state, or federal law; or (3) would violate a lawful provision in a common interest development governing document that satisfies the criteria of California Civil Code Section 1353.6. (f) Resident shall post and remove political signs in compliance with the time limits set by the ordinance for the jurisdiction where the premises are located. Resident shall be solely responsible for any violation of a local ordinance. If no local ordinance exists or if the local ordinance does not include a time limit for posting and removing political signs on private property, political signs may be posted 90 days prior to the date of the election or vote to which the sign relates and must be removed 15 days following the date of the election or vote.
