Default Signs. Allowed or not?

A friend had a political sign placed on an inside window of his home but visible from the street. He received a letter from VCDD demanding that it be removed. Does anyone know the ruling on this?

Check the restrictions on the particular village in question. There are differences over the years.

In the Amendment of the Declaration of Restriction covering our property, item 2.15 indicates that signs are not allowed with the only exceptions being one, for a name sign on your lamppost and two, for a for sale or rent sign in your window within the stipulations indicated in the restriction itself. You can check your own declaration by going to the following website and finding your own district and section. If your now sure of your section number, it can be found on your resident card.

Go to VCDD website and do a search for political signs. There's a new letter from Jannette Tutt District manager. Yes you can.
If you can't sign on there do a search on TOTV the moderator posted the letter on an earlier post.

Thanks Bill I couldn't post just the letter. It seems several people are getting letters about their signs in the windows.

I think they have opened a Pandora's Box here. Who is to determine what is a "Political Sign"? If the rules are no signs it should mean no signs.

Whether or not it's legal or permitted by TV, why would anyone feel the need to, or want to have an ugly sign visible on their house? Who do they think is going to see a sign in a window & immediately be swayed to vote for that candidate? I make my own decisions who to vote for. No silly sign or bumper sticker has any effect on how I mark my ballot.

While playing Arnold Palmer on Friday, I noticed a couple of political signs. Apparently, folks feel that by the time a complaint is filed and all the "hoops" are jumped the election will be over. They are probably right!

I think that the VCDD might have a lot of trouble telling people what they can or cannot do INSIDE of their house, even if it's visible from the outside.

I think any sign looks like crap.
Always wondered if the sign on a lawn or window was for the candidate or the ego of the one who posted the sign.

Currently have the "support breast cancer" pink ribbon in my window sent to me by The Village newspaper. Hope no one has issues with this.
