Provo §8.05 and Orem §12-3 property maintenance codes require neat display during sales and same-day cleanup. Items cannot be left curbside between sale days. Blight citations apply after warnings.
Provo Municipal Code §8.05.060 and Orem Code §12-3-5 apply property maintenance standards to temporary garage sales. Merchandise must be displayed in organized fashion on tables, racks, or defined areas — not scattered across lawns. Display must be removed from public view at end of daily sale hours (8 PM in Provo, 8 PM in Orem). Unsold items cannot remain at curb, in driveway, or visible from street between sale days. All signs must be removed within 24 hours of sale ending per Provo §15.09 and Orem §18-11. Properties accumulating visible clutter beyond sale periods receive nuisance citations under Utah Code §76-10-803 public nuisance or local blight codes. Pleasant Grove §5-2 and Lindon §9-3 have similar standards. Utah County unincorporated parcels governed by §5-3 nuisance ordinance but enforcement is complaint-driven. BYU-adjacent Provo neighborhoods in R1LO overlay receive heightened enforcement due to historic student-housing blight concerns near University Avenue.
Items left out post-sale: $50 to $250 blight citation per Provo §8.05.090. Signs not removed: $50 to $100 per sign. Habitual violations: escalating fines up to $1,000 and nuisance abatement under Utah Code §10-11-1.
