WASHINGTON — It's time for campaign signs to come down in the District, according to local laws.
In D.C., campaign signs can’t be posted for more than 180 days, and must be removed 30 days after the election. That deadline would be Thursday, Dec. 8.
In Virginia and Maryland, signs posted along state roads and highways are illegal and Departments of Transportation take them down regularly.
However, at the local level in the neighboring states, the rules depend on where you live:
Fairfax largely follows Commonwealth rules.
Loudoun allows temporary signs with a permit, but they are limited to 120 days
In Arlington, campaign-related temporary signs can be posted for a week or up to a month, depending on where they’re placed.
Prince George’s County limits campaign signage to posting 45 days before election day at the earliest, requiring them to be removed 10 days after the election.
Montgomery County only allows signs to be posted on weekends and federal holidays–anything long-term is illegal.
