Political Sign

Political Signs

Whitehall Township’s ordinance states that political signs must not exceed 32 square feet, with a max height of 8 feet.   They may be placed on private land only, and only with that land owner’s explicit permission.  Signs should be on the property enough that they are not too close to the road, the ordinance states a minimum of 5 feet from any property line.  Campaign signs should never be placed on public land.  Any sign that is improperly placed will be removed and disposed of.  All signs must be removed within 7 days after an election.  The township ordinance does not state when signs can begin going up, however no more than 45 days before an election is recommended.
