You may have to be careful about where you put up a pole if it is in a district designated for historic purposes.

You should consult the historic preservation committee in your area before you build a flagpole.
Private Property
Installing flagpoles on public land is usually not allowed, including parks, roads, or sidewalks. It is possible to install a flagpole in a public area, but this type of permission can be rare.
Energy Easements
You may have sections of your land designated as utilities easements. These allow access for utility companies to service their equipment. Sometimes, it is forbidden to place anything, even flagpoles, above or on top of these locations. Before installing your flagpole, make sure to check with local utilities providers.
In summary, there are a few places that you cannot erect an telescoping Flagpole. This includes homeowner’s associations, historical districts, public lands, and utility easements. Before installing a pole, contact the authorities and confirm you are in compliance with all laws. If you plan and prepare properly, it is possible to proudly fly the flag of your country without fearing any safety issues or legal consequences.
