Dear Candidate and Political Supporters:
The City of Anaheim takes pride in being one of the premier locations in Southern California. As such, we want to ensure that our city looks as good as possible for our many residents, visitors and those who do business in our city. The City has adopted regulations for temporary political signs to ensure that candidates have the ability to promote their campaigns without cluttering the city’s public spaces.
Please be advised that the Anaheim Municipal Code prohibits the placement of signs in the public right-of-way. In addition, signs may not be placed on private property without the owner’s consent. For your convenience, I have enclosed a copy of the City’s regulations on political signs.
During an election year, the City receives numerous complaints concerning the proliferation of political campaign signs on both public and private property. Our procedure, upon finding such signs in violation of our municipal code, is to remove the sign(s), document, and store them until 30 days after the election before they are discarded. We are asking for your cooperation and that of your supporters in ensuring your signs are compliant with the City’s regulations, and in promptly removing any signs that may inadvertently be placed in a prohibited location.
Please email the Code Enforcement Division at [email protected] with the name, phone number, and email address of a designated representative who can be contacted to address any complaints about your sign or if the sign is found to be in violation of the city code. This individual will be responsible for promptly removing any sign placed in a prohibited location within 24 hours.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact me at (714) 765- .
Sincerely,
Planning & Building Director
