Signs – Political Campaigns

Learning about the various requirements is interesting.

Sign Guidance from the State – 60 days before an election (Mar 8, 2024) – removing 6 days after

When may I begin placing yard signs? State law does not specify when yard signs may be placed. Instead, this decision is up to counties, cities, and towns. A political subdivision may not enforce an ordinance or a regulation limiting the number or size of signs during the period beginning sixty (60) days before an election and ending the beginning of the sixth day after the election. A political subdivision is not prohibited from enforcing an ordinance or regulation relating to the number or size of signs at any time if necessary to ensure public safety. For purposes of this law, a “sign” has a surface area not greater than thirty-two (32) square feet. (IC 36-1-3-11) There are similar restrictions for homeowner’s associations. (IC 32-21-13-4)
