If it’s a public right of way, the abutting land owner does not have the right to remove the signs during the election season. There may even be a fine for doing so.

Signs in NM must be on private property. They may not be placed on the public right-of-way, and campaign staff must have permission prior to placing them on private property. Either way, the signs were placed illegally.

Here's the link to the Taos city ordinance that specifically states no signs on public property, and that placement on private property must be with permission of the property owner. Also, a private property owner may take down any improperly placed signs on is or her property.

I can't link to the actual chapter, but clicking on Title 12, then chapter 28 (Advertising) will get you there.
