Campaign Signs
Home :: City Government :: Campaign Signs
All property owners, homeowners and community associations should be aware of two state statutes affecting
a homeowner's ability to place a political sign in his or her yard, and affecting a candidate's ability to enter a community
to campaign.
- Minnesota Statutes Section 211B.045 states that "In any municipality, whether or not the municipality has an ordinance that
regulates the size or number of noncommercial signs, all noncommercial signs of any size may be posted in any number from June 25 to Nov. 12."
- Minnesota Statutes Section 211B.20 states that "It is unlawful for a person, either directly or indirectly, to deny access
to an apartment house, dormitory, nursing home, manufactured home park, other multiple unit facility used as a residence, or
an area in which two or more single-family dwellings are located on private roadways to a candidate who has filed for election
to public office or to campaign workers accompanied by the candidate, if the candidate and workers seeking admittance to the
facility do so solely for the purpose of campaigning. A violation of this section is a petty misdemeanor."
- Political signs are not permitted on city property or within city right-of-way.
- Political signs do not need a sign permit.
