Tennessee Campaign Sign Laws: Check With Your City

We couldn't verify a statewide Tennessee rule for campaign yard signs in the official state code, so the rules that matter come from your city or county sign ordinance. Here's how to find them, checked on November 3, 2026.

Statewide rules in Tennessee

We searched the official Tennessee code and state agency pages and found no statewide rule on campaign yard signs that we could verify. That means your city or county sign ordinance decides where signs can go and when they come down. Call your city or county code enforcement or zoning office, or search your local code for temporary signs. For polling places, ask your county election office how far signs must stay from the entrance.

When do campaign signs have to come down in Tennessee?

We haven't verified a statewide Tennessee removal deadline yet. Many removal deadlines come from city or county sign ordinances, so call your city or county code office.

FlyerFly is an app for putting out yard signs and door hangers with your own crew. When your team puts out a sign, the app saves a GPS pin, a photo and the time, so you can see where every sign you placed is. While a job runs, your crew member's dot moves on your map with a Live badge, and a GPS trail shows where they went. It does not check whether a spot is legal, so use the rules above. It's nonpartisan and works the same for any campaign.
