Political Campaign Sign Regulation Update

Political Campaign Sign Regulation Update

Effective November 29, 2011, the City of Liberty Lake Signage Standards were updated. City Development Code Article 10-3E regulates the placements of signs to:

  • have signs that attract and invite rather than demand the public's attention along the City's streetscapes
  • have streets that appear orderly and safe, because clutter is minimized
  • have signs that enhance the visual environment of the City, because they are in harmony with building architecture and landscape design
  • allow business identification that is not unduly hindered by regulatory standards
  • ensure typical communication and civic discussion is fostered in the City's residential neighborhoods
  • allow signs that utilize high quality construction materials, fine architectural detailing, harmonious proportionality, and that serve a multi-modal environment.

As a part of the update process, the standards for political signs were changed.

The following City Development Code Section 10-3E-5(A)(10) are the new standards for Political Campaign Signs:

a. Signs promoting or publicizing candidates for public office or issues that are to be voted upon in a general or special election may be displayed on private property with the consent of the property owner.

b. Signs shall not be located on public property, within public easements, or within street right-of-way.

c. All political campaign signage shall be removed within 14 days following the general election. If a run-off election for a candidate or initiative is required, the signs may remain until 14 days following the run-off election.
