During campaign season, the landscape blooms with a special kind of
flower – the political sign. Unlike wildflowers that are welcome anywhere, putting
campaign signs on public lands is illegal. So before you plant that sign, learn
the law and keep Texas beautiful.
You need to know
- It is illegal to place any signs on or within the right of way. This
includes posting signs on trees, telephone poles, traffic signs and other
objects on the right of way.
- Campaign signs along Texas roads can be placed on private property with the owner’s
permission.
- Signs must be made of lightweight material and be no
larger than 50 square feet.
- Campaign signs may be posted as early as 90 days before an election (no earlier) and
must be removed within 10 days after the election.
- Before placing a sign inside of incorporated city limits,
check with the city for applicable ordinances.
Sign Removal
If you've placed your sign in the right of way or it's posing a traffic hazard, we will remove it
without prior notice. All costs associated with sign removal will be paid by the
sign owner.
