I strongly support a candidate in the upcoming elections and would like to place that candidate’s sign in my front yard. My association has a rule prohibiting the placement of any signs in our front y

No. CCIOA has a provision that states associations may not flatly prohibit homeowners and occupants from displaying political signs any time between 45 days before and 7 days after an election. Associations, however, may regulate the display of such signs as long as they allow at least one sign per political office or ballot issue with the dimensions of either 36 by 48 inches or the maximum size allowed by an y applicable local ordinance, whichever is smaller. Additionally, homeowners have the right to place these signs on their property or in their windows. They may not, however, place signs on common areas or limited common elements (such as balconies) in a condominium association.
