Why It’s Flagged
KRS § 381.800 & 4 U.S.C. § 5
Under KRS § 381.800 (enacted by HB 324, effective June 29, 2023), a planned community shall not include or enforce a provision in any governing document that prohibits the outdoor display of political yard signs by a lot owner or resident on the owner's property starting 30 days before any primary, regular, or special election until 7 days after that election (though the association may adopt reasonable rules regarding size and maximum number of signs).
Additionally, 4 U.S.C. § 5 protects the right of every residential owner to display the flag of the United States.
