By now, you've seen plenty of campaign signs along the road in Reno, Sparks, and even rural Washoe County.

Outside of the Biggest Little City, these signs must come down 10 days after the general election.

But Reno looks at these signs differently, treating them like any other temporary sign.

"The signs can be in place for up to 95 days per calendar year, depending on the zoning, the number of signs is regulated, and then the size of the signs as well," said Lance Feratto, Director of Licensing and Code Enforcement, City of Reno.

Feratto said those 95 days do not have to be consecutive.

Reno allows signs up to six square feet in residential areas, and 32 square feet otherwise.

In Washoe County, it also depends on where the sign is. Smaller signs are allowed in residential areas versus commercial.

The City of Sparks does not have size limitations.

The Nevada Department of Transportation doesn't allow any signs within the right-of-way of its highways, but you can place them on private property nearby. This applies to highways like Interstate 80 and roads you might not realize are state routes, like McCarran Boulevard or parts of Virginia Street.

Speaking of roads, signs cannot distract drivers in Washoe County.

"Signs should not impede eyesight," said Bethany Drysdale, Communications Manager for Washoe County. "And it shouldn't be distracting, so no flashing lights or anything like that. If you think that a sign is distracting, or you think it's too big and it's blocking traffic, blocking the view of drivers, that's a safety concern."

The City of Sparks tells us election signs should not be illuminated or digital.

As far as the content of the signs, the Nevada Commission on Ethics says most concerns fall under improper benefits. For example, using government resources or official uniforms to give the impression said agency is endorsing them when they're not.

"You want it to be abundantly clear that you are representing yourself as a private individual running for, you know, a public position during campaign season rather than any appearance that your office or any public agency is endorsing you formally," said Sam Harvey, Outreach and Education Officer, Nevada Commission on Ethics.

Within Reno, you can report a campaign sign in violation of these rules to Reno Direct by calling (775) 334-4636 weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or you can send a service request online.

Sparks recommends using its My Sparks app.

Outside of Reno-Sparks, Washoe County residents can call 311.
