Where Can I Post Campaign Signs? When posting a temporary yard sign to support a campaign or cause, keep the following in mind: • It’s okay to put a temporary yard sign on residential property. • You must have permission of the property owner before placing a political sign anywhere, including vacant property. • Do not put a temporary yard sign in the right of way—the area between the sidewalk and the street—including street corners, road medians, roundabouts, and utility poles. To notify the City about signs in the right of way, call the Building and Zoning Department at 319.248.1720. Signs placed in the right of way or on public property will be removed as the City is notified and as staffing permits.
