Can I put up a sign in my yard?

No sign may be displayed to public view without the Reviewer’s written approval, except for a short list of exceptions.

One small security-company sign is allowed, no more than two square feet and within five feet of the front of the house. One temporary “For Sale” or “For Lease” sign is allowed: no more than five square feet on each visible side, no taller than four feet, and removed within two business days after the sale or lease.

A small religious item on the entry door (25 square inches or less in total) is also allowed. Political signs are covered in the next clause, 2.11.6.

That is a summary in plain words. The passages below are what the documents actually say, and they are the authority.
