- Campaign signs are considered Temporary Signs by the zoning ordinance.

- In the Agricultural and Residential Zoning Districts the following apply:
- A Maximum of Two (2) total Temporary Signs (campaign signs) are allowed per parcel.
- A Temporary (campaign) sign shall not be larger than three (3) square feet of sign area. (for example 24 x 18 = 3 square feet)
