Anza, CA Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Yard and garage sale signs in unincorporated Riverside County are temporary signs governed by Ordinance No. 806, codified in Title 17, Chapter 17.254. The ordinance sets specific limits for these signs: no sign may exceed 4 square feet in surface area (Sec. 3(C)). Timing is restricted - a sign may not be posted more than 15 days before the event or sale, and it must be removed within 5 days after the event or sale (Sec. 3(C)). Quantity is capped: only one sign per lot may be displayed at any time, and no more than three such signs may be posted on any lot per calendar year (Sec. 3(C)). As with other temporary signs, garage sale signs generally may not be placed within the road right-of-way - the right-of-way exception in the ordinance applies only to non-commercial signs during an election period, not to garage sale signs (Sec. 3(A)(2)). Posting commercial garage sale signs on utility poles, street signs, traffic signals, or in the public right-of-way is therefore not permitted and such signs are subject to removal by the County. No sign permit is required for a compliant temporary garage sale sign, but the size, number, and timing limits must be observed.
