House Bill 873 adds a new section to the Property Code to restrict regulation by a property owners' association of certain political displays on property in a residential subdivision. Except as otherwise provided, the bill prohibits a property owners' association from enforcing or adopting a restrictive covenant that prohibits a property owner from displaying on the owner's property within a specified time frame one or more signs advertising a political candidate or ballot item for an election. The bill specifies that it does not prohibit the enforcement or adoption of certain other covenants relating to the size, quantity, placement, type, or other manner of display of such signs. A property owners' association is authorized to remove a sign displayed in violation of a restrictive covenant permitted by the bill.
