My personal opinion is don’t discuss politics with neighbors. Put your own signs up but taking down their sign is a dick move.

You really want to start that argument? As others said, the easement is a contract. They have rights as well and nothing like exercising your rights at all hours of the day or night to prove the same point as removing a political sign.

Also, it’s just not neighborly (or Vermonty ) and do you want to start a fight with your neighbors over some political signs.

Their sign is more likely than not illegally placed. What rights are you referring to, because I doubt that the recorded easement has a permitted use involving signage. It's not neighborly or Vermonty to put your political litter on other people's yards. Good on OP for asking before removing it

The right to use the easement. And drive in and out with loud music blaring or the engine revving at any time day or night is what I was referring to.

Depending on how petty the guy is, he could generally be annoying as fuck.

If the neighbors starts a fight over a sign, expect retaliation is my general point.

Somehow, and bare with me here, I don't think the person who doesn't own the property is going to have much of a leg to stand on if they go that route.

You could be right if this is a very strange easement that includes a proscribed right to place signage, in addition to a right-of-way. I highly doubt it. That said, easements do not give you a right to cause a nuisance with noise or litter. Putting aside common law nuisance, most Vermont municipalities have noise ordinances. If the neighbor retaliated in that way, they would be the only asshole in the situation, and could open themselves up to a civil stalking order.

All OP needs to do is return the sign and be friendly.

Where do you live where you have noise ordinance enforced. Anywhere outside a few places it is ignored.
