Campaign Sign Regulations

Campaign signs are regulated as a type of temporary sign under Del Mar Municipal Code Chapter 30.84 Signs.  Temporary signs, including campaign signs, are signs that are maintained for 60 days or less and are limited in size (as measured on one side of the sign) to a maximum area of 5.5 sign feet for each individual dwelling unit in residential zones and a maximum of 6 square feet for each individual business in commercial zones.  Campaign signs may be placed on private property in residential zones or in the right-of-way adjacent to residential private property in locations that otherwise appear to be within private yards, with permission of the property owner, so long as sign placement does not create a public safety issue.  More information is included in the City's Campaign Sign Information primer.
