Different areas of The Villages have differing rules for campaign signs

Editor’s note: The following is guidance from the District Office on campaign signs.

Each election period raises questions about allowable campaign activities within the Village Community Development Districts, including signage. To help all candidates and supporters, we have prepared an overview of signage enforcement for each District. Any questions with regard to signage or political activities should be directed to Janet Tutt, District Manager or Diane Tucker, Administrative Operations Manager at (352)-751-3939.

No signs may be placed on, or affixed to District owned property.

Signs may be affixed to golf carts or Low Speed Vehicles or held by candidates or their supporters.

There is no enforcement of for rent/for sale signs in villa units; however, no other signage is permitted with the exception of security and lawn care signs as designated in the Rule.
