Summary
Glenn County's Unified Development Code does not have a sign category specifically for garage or yard sale signs. Such temporary signs fall under the general Sign Standards of Chapter 15.620, which require the property owner's consent and prohibit signs in county road rights-of-way except by variance.
No persons shall erect any sign regulated by this chapter without first obtaining the written consent of the property owner(s) upon which such sign is located and filing such written consent with the planning authority.
Full Breakdown
620 (Sign Standards) lists the categories of exempt and permitted signs, but it does not single out 'garage sale' or 'yard sale' signs. 030(O) covers temporary 'Temporary Sales and Events' banners and signs tied to an event or grand opening, limited to a maximum aggregate area of 100 square feet per site and removed within seven days following the event. 020(D) requires signs to be located outside of county street and road rights-of-way except where a variance is granted by the Planning Commission. 040) also apply - signs that imitate traffic signs or obstruct traffic visibility are barred.
Because Title 15 does not establish a dedicated garage-sale-sign permit or duration, residents should treat garage sale signs as temporary signs subject to these general rules and confirm placement with Glenn County Planning & Community Development Services.
Violations & Fines
