Campaign signs are popping up all over the place -- some people's properties are overflowing with them. It's not just the message on it that's a concern for some, but where these signs are allowed.
"There will be lots of signs because it's a presidential year," said Scott County Auditor Roxanna Moritz.
But if you post one where you're not supposed to, it could get taken away. There's one fool proof spot to post a campaign sign -- on your own property.
"Anything that someone wants to put on their property is allowable."
But then the rules get more specific. If you notice some prime real estate for a campaign sign, you have to ask the property owner for permission to put your sign up there.
"You can put them on fences you can put them in yards you can put them in vacant lots," Moritz said. "If they're personally owned."
You can't put a sign up on city, county, state, or public property. And there's a lot of space that falls under that category -- buildings, bridges, gates, utility poles, even trees. And on election day, polling places are out of the question.
"You can't have anything within 300 feet of a polling location." Unless, it's on personal property.
"A lot of people ask me 'Can I put a sign across from a polling place?' Well you can, if it's on personal property," said Moritz.
