signs
Utah law does not regulate how an association restricts or prohibits signs in the recorded CC&Rs (a.k.a, the declaration). But, the law does regulate how a board restricts or prohibits signs in rules, as follows:
Religious and Holiday Displays
Community Associations. An association may adopt a reasonable time, place, and manner restriction with respect to a display that is outside a dwelling and visible from outside the lot. Beyond that, a rule may restrict the display of a religious or holiday sign, symbol, or decoration on a dwelling exterior that the association owns or maintains and on a front yard that the association owns or maintains. Otherwise, a rule may not diminish the right of an owner to display a religious or holiday sign, symbol, or decoration inside a dwelling or outside a dwelling on: (1) a lot, (2) the exterior of the dwelling, or (3) the front yard of the dwelling.
Condo Associations. A rule may not diminish the right of an owner to display a religious or holiday sign, symbol, or decoration inside the owner's unit, but an association may adopt a reasonable time, place, and manner restriction with respect to a display that is visible from outside the unit.
Political Signs
Community Associations. A rule may not prohibit an owner from displaying a political sign inside a dwelling or outside a dwelling on: (1) a lot, (2) the exterior of the dwelling, regardless of whether the association owns or maintains the exterior, or (3) the front yard of the dwelling, regardless of whether the association owns or maintains the yard. A rule may reasonably regulate the time, place, and manner of posting a political sign, but may not regulate the content of a political sign. An association may not establish design criteria for a political sign.
Condo Associations. A rule may not prohibit a unit owner from displaying a political sign in their window. A rule may not regulate the content of a political sign or establish design criteria for a political sign. However, a rule may reasonably regulate the size and time, place, and manner of posting a political sign.
For-Sale Signs
Community Associations. A rule may not prohibit an owner from displaying a for-sale sign inside a dwelling or outside a dwelling on: (1) a lot, (2) the exterior of the dwelling, regardless of whether the association owns or maintains the exterior, or (3) the front yard of the dwelling, regardless of whether the association owns or maintains the yard. A rule may reasonably regulate the time, place, and manner of posting a for-sale sign.
Condo Associations. A rule may not prohibit a unit owner from displaying a for-sale sign in their window. However, a rule may reasonably regulate the size and time, place, and manner of posting a for-sale sign.
