Signs for Which No Permit is Required - The following signs may be erected or displayed in any district without a permit, provided the uses of the premises upon which such signs are erected or displayed are in compliance with all other zoning regulations: a) any sign containing less than two (2) square feet; b) incidental signs, provided that the number and location of such signs are approved on plans submitted to the Wake County Zoning Administrator and that the number of signs is no greater than reasonably necessary; c) political signs, provided no political sign shall be erected earlier than the established filing date for an election nor allowed to remain longer than fifteen (15) days after the election.
