‘Tis the season—for political campaigning, that is. Below are the dos and don’ts of showing candidate support via posting political signs or symbols. 

Residents may display signs in their yards, in windows, on doors and on the sides of their homes. Signs may also be displayed on the inside of their unit windows and on balconies. However, they cannot put them on exterior windows, doors or walls since those are common areas.

Below are the specifics for Third and United mutuals. 

第三互助

According to Resolution 03-12-108, adopted in 2012, the Third board of directors prohibits the placement of political signage in/on Third Mutual common areas.

聯合互助銀行

According to Resolution 01-08-141, adopted in 2008, no member, occupant, co-occupant, lessee or guest (or any person for whom said member, occupant, co-occupant, lessee or guest is responsible) shall place, post or display, or allow to be placed, posted or displayed, any sign, poster, flag, banner or symbol of a political nature, on any property owned by the corporation, except within the specific unit to which said person is entitled to exclusive possession, except as authorized under applicable law.

Civil Code §4710

California Civil Code, updated in 2014, allows the following: 

• Members can place a candidate flag on their balcony and block wall. The political statement flags cannot incite violence or be offensive/vulgar, and must be no larger than 15 square feet, or approximately 3-by-5 feet. This size restriction applies to all flags. 
• Governing documents may not prohibit posting or displaying of noncommercial signs, posters, flags or banners on or in a member’s separate interest, except as required for the protection of public health or safety or if the posting or display would violate a local, state, or federal law.
• A noncommercial sign, poster, flag or banner may be made of paper, cardboard, cloth, plastic or fabric, and may be posted or displayed from the yard, window, door, balcony or outside wall of the separate interest, but may not be made of lights, roofing, siding, paving materials, flora or balloons, or any other similar building, landscaping or decorative component, or include the painting of architectural surfaces..
