I found this article published on the website of a TV station in Cleveland, Ohio, about 50km from Elyria. I had to use a VPN to access it, so here's the most important bit:

Elyria man removes vulgar sign criticizing city's permit requirements after week on display

The message "F*** you City of Elyria, it's my property not yours" covered a large plywood sign on full display for drivers.

“I have gotten a lot of threats through Facebook about it. You know, 'You need to take that down, it’s vulgar language, it’s kids,' whatnot," homeowner William Grabrovac said. "I understand that situation, but if you go walk up and down the streets, there’s a lot of f-- Biden signs flying around. What’s the difference?”

Grabrovac put up the message after the City of Elyria issued him a notice of violations for extending his driveway and adding a pergola without a permit. The sign stayed for the next seven days.

(...) He says he was making a statement with the sign, showing that he disagreed with the city's permit requirements and didn't understand why he was limited in making alterations to his property.

On Thursday, after a full week with the sign on display, Grabrovac met with the city and they came to an agreement.

(...) Now, Grabrovac can keep the gravel as long as he doesn't park there. He promised to take the sign down and get the required permits for his home.
