LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – With election week coming to a close, people may be wondering how long until all the campaign signs are thrown or blown away.
In the Metro, political signs must be taken out immediately after Election Day. Sign removal is the responsibility of the sign owner and property owner.
There’s a 10-day grace period, and after that, public works will come remove them.
Jefferson County’s sign regulations say there are 12 cities with their own sign ordinances. Each city has its own independent zoning rules.
The following are cities with independent zoning:
- Anchorage
- Douglass Hills
- Graymoor-Devondale
- Hurstbourne
- Indian Hills
- Jeffersontown
- Lyndon
- Middletown
- Prospect
- Shively
- St. Matthews
- St. Regis Park
The rules for residential streets within these areas may vary. Most of the cities, such as Jeffersontown, allow signs to stay up for a week.
If a political sign is in a person’s front yard, they are protected by the First Amendment and they can keep it there as long as they want.
