Ok, so I am extremely unhappy with my home builder, US Homes. I want
to put a big sign on my window facing the street that says this: "If
you purchase a US Home do not sign any papers until ALL exceptions
have been fixed! If you do, it could take months to get your stuff
fixed." ....or something to this nature.
Is it legal for me to put this sign up?
Thanks,
Mike G.

In what ever size font and color you choose to do it in.
That's called "freedom of speech" and you're entitled to let the world know
how you feel in your own home any way you care to.
You could send up a hot air blimp with a sign that says "US HOMES SUCK".
And there's not a damn thing they can do about it.
Except maybe shoot the thing down.

Well, US Homes might feel that this sign is libelous. Also, depending
on the laws in your city, county, etc. it may be illegal to put signs
on your yard.

What if it's true? Obviously I can't predict what the builder will do
in the future, but for now, it's true: they take months to fix stuff.
Also, do city or county laws apply if I put the sign inside my house,
not in the yard? You'd be able to see the sign through the window.

The question you have to ask yourself is, even if you think it's true,
are you willing to risk a lawsuit against you, which would include
hassle, attorney's fees, etc.?

If they don't like what you say about them, they can sue you. Even if
what you say is true. Having the truth on your side is useful once
you get sued, but being sued is a hassle, even when you win in the
end.

Depends on the specific law, but in general local sign ordinances
apply to all signs which are visible from the street, regardless of
whether they are inside a building or not.

Not in Colorado, and I Dare Say, No Longer in Any Other State, save The
Perpetual Exception of Oddball Louisiana...
I'm not sure whether "SLAP" Lawsuits, which is the type of Lawsuit
described Supra and elsewhere in this Group, are yet Barred By Statute, but
if they are not, they soon will be... currently, such SLAP [Nuisance]
Lawsuits will not survive Pre-Trial "Issue Of Law" Scrutiny... When last I
saw, the Proposed Legislation would not only Prohibit Such Actions, but
would provide for Damages, Costs, and Sanctions against those bringing such
"Frivilous" and "Substantially Vexatious" Actions...
Depends on the specific law, but in general local sign ordinances
apply to all signs which are visible from the street, regardless of
whether they are inside a building or not.
Well... Yes and No... The OP raises Questions of the "Legality" of
*Political Speech*... as we all know, save Certain Restrictions WRT "Comfort
Zones/Protective Bubbles/Provocative Speech", there are NO Laws or
Regulations which can Impinge on Anyone's Free Expression/Political Speech
whether or not the Signage can be viewed From The Street...
"Sign Ordinances", ordinarily, are directed at "Commercial Speech" which
Do Not Enjoy the Full Protections accorded *Political Speech* and are
subject to "Time/Place/Manner/Forum Restrictions, most often through some
manner of Zoning Regulation...
Bottom Line: "US Homes STINKS!" is Unarguably *Political Speech* and is
NOT Subject To Regulation under Any Statutory Scheme...

I don't believe shooting it down would be legal.
If you want to talk about what they "can" do vs. what they can legally
do, why stop with shooting down your blimp?

Keep in mind that Naughtius is a lawyer, and if someone sues him for
saying that, he can defend himself perfectly well (and he'll do a damn
good job of it too, no doubt).
You, however, are not a lawyer. Therefore, if you are sued, you will
need a lawyer to use Naughtius's probably-correct argument in your
defense in a court of law. And that will probably cost you some
dollars. Willing to risk it? That's for you to answer.

A "Free Speech" sign cannot be illegal (except in cases where the
courts have upheld a size restriction and the sign is, in fact, oversize)
according the Supreme Court.
