Full Breakdown

EMMC 17.80.100 regulates temporary signage for small private sales events, defined as yard sales, garage sales and moving sales, and subsection C sets the duration limit for the event itself, not just its signs: no sale or signage will be permitted for more than two consecutive days. That means a resident cannot run a garage sale, or keep sale signage up, across a longer stretch such as an entire weekend plus a following day.

The same subsection separately limits how long directional signs may stay up in the public right-of-way: those signs may be posted only on the day of the sale, and must be removed by the end of that day, regardless of how many days the sale itself runs under the two-day cap. Responsibility for pulling down the signage on time falls on the sale's owner. Subsection D backs the duration limit with a registration requirement: a yard or garage sale must be registered with the city before any signage is allowed in the public right-of-way at all, and any right-of-way sign that was never registered is subject to immediate removal by the city.

Violations & Fines

A sale or its signage that runs longer than two consecutive days violates EMMC 17.80.100(C), and directional signs left up past the day of the sale, or posted without registering the event first, may be removed immediately by the city under subsection D; repeated violations are handled through the planning department's standard sign enforcement process in EMMC 17.80.150.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many days can I hold a garage sale in Eagle Mountain?
No more than two consecutive days. EMMC 17.80.100(C) caps both the sale itself and any related signage at two consecutive days, so a longer running sale or leftover signage is a code violation.
Do I need to register my garage sale with Eagle Mountain?
Yes, if you want to place directional signage in the public right-of-way. EMMC 17.80.100(D) requires the sale to be registered with the city before any right-of-way signage is allowed; an unregistered sign in the right-of-way may be removed immediately.
When do garage sale signs have to come down?
Directional signs in the public right-of-way may be posted only on the day of the sale and must be removed by the end of that same day, per EMMC 17.80.100(C); it is the sale owner's responsibility to take them down on time.
