Political Signs

Edgewater Estates Covenants prohibits VOTE erecting business signs and notices of advertising, however, political signs may be erected up to 30 days during an election. In 2007 the state Legislature amended existing legislation to protect homeowners’ and condominium residents’ right to fly flags and display political signs. The revised statute (25 Delaware Code Sec. 81- 320) says condominium residents or homeowners cannot be prohibited from displaying a U.S. flag up to 3 feet by 5 feet, and that any rule regarding the flag’s display must be consistent with federal law. Unless addressed in the original property declaration, no rule may ban political signs for candidates or ballot questions, but a homeowner’s association can restrict the time, place, size, number, or manner or the displays.
