New Political Campaign Sign Regulations

Last August, the Village Board of Trustees approved a code amendment that removed the time frame limitation for the display of political campaign signs in response to the State’s passing of a prohibition on such limitations. As of January 1, 2011, political campaign signs on residential properties are no longer limited to 36 days prior to an election and can now be displayed at any time. Please be aware that there continues to be location and size limitations for political signs that must be followed, which are:

• Political signs are permitted only on private property and require consent of the property owner.

• Signs may be double-sided and shall be limited to six (6) square feet in area per side and a maximum height of four (4) feet.

If you have any questions regarding political signs in the Village, please contact the Community Development Department at 847.913.2310.
