HB 16 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Prohibit certain restrictions on display of political yard signs

This bill prevents homeowner associations and similar groups from banning political yard signs on private property. Associations may still set reasonable limits on sign size (minimum 12 inches tall by 18 inches wide), location, and timing, but cannot prohibit signs during the 30 days before elections or restrict them below the specified size. It directly affects property owners who display political signs and homeowner groups that previously enforced sign restrictions. The law makes any rule violating these provisions unenforceable in court.
