A Davenport garage sale may run no longer than 72 hours, three consecutive days. Advertising is limited to one non-illuminated sign up to four square feet, placed no more than 24 hours before the sale and removed as soon as it ends.
Davenport's residential-sales rules cap each garage, yard, or attic sale at 72 hours. Signage is tightly controlled: one non-illuminated sign no larger than four square feet, kept within the boundaries of the lot holding the sale. The sign may go up no more than 24 hours before the sale starts and must come down immediately when it ends. Signs are prohibited in the public right-of-way, and any placed there are subject to removal and disposal by the city. The code sets no specific hour-of-day window, but sales must not create a nuisance.
Sales running past 72 hours, or signs that are oversized, placed early, left up, or set in the public right-of-way, are code violations. Right-of-way signs are removed by the city; repeat violations draw municipal-infraction fines.
