Political signs not allowed in public right-of-way

Helena – Lewis and Clark County reminds the public placing political signs in County right-of-ways is against Montana law and signs will be removed.

While Administrative Rules of Montana 18.6.246 allows for political signs on private property, with permission of the property owner, it says political signs must not be placed on or allow any portion to intrude in the public right-of-way or on public property.

Lewis and Clark County will remove any signs it finds in the County right-of-way. People may retrieve their signs at the County Shop at 3402 Cooney Dr. in Helena.
