Political Signage

Dear Neighbors,

Several people have asked about putting political signs in their yards.  According to the Tennessee Freedom of Speech Act, we should not restrict the rights of people to place such signs, within certain limits, such as their size or location.  This Act overrides our HOA covenants.   The signs may only be displayed 60 days prior to Election Day and removed within one day after.  You may only display one sign per candidate.  

This being said, I don’t think our neighborhood wants our tiny front yards covered in political signs.   All signs should be 16 sq ft or less and located in your flower bed.  No signs at all between the sidewalk and the street.

Please be considerate of your neighbor’s choices if they happen to disagree with yours.  Any signs up 2 days after the election will be removed.  

Thank you.
Jim Stettler
