Why It’s Flagged
4 U.S.C. § 5 & Ala. Code §§ 35-20-5, 35-8A-302
Under the Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 (4 U.S.C. § 5), a condominium, cooperative, or residential real estate management association may not adopt or enforce any policy, or enter into any agreement, that would restrict or prevent a member of the association from displaying the flag of the United States on residential property to which the member has a separate ownership interest or right to exclusive use.
Under Ala. Code § 35-20-5, any restriction on residential political signs must be expressly set forth in the recorded declaration and subject only to reasonable time, place, and manner limits.
