Unincorporated Del Norte County has no published ordinance specific to garage-sale or yard-sale signs. General sign and outdoor-advertising rules in the zoning code apply, and temporary signs should stay off the public right-of-way and require property-owner permission.
No garage-sale-specific sign provision was found in the County's published code. The County zoning ordinances define 'outdoor advertising sign' and 'outdoor advertising structure' (Coastal Zoning Ordinance Secs. 21.04.620 and 21.04.630) and regulate signs through the zoning framework, but they do not set out a dedicated temporary garage-sale sign category. As a practical matter, temporary directional signs for a yard or garage sale should be placed only on private property with the owner's consent and kept out of the public right-of-way and sight-distance areas at intersections. Signs placed in the state highway right-of-way are subject to removal by Caltrans under the Outdoor Advertising Act. Because the County does not publish a yard-sale sign permit process, residents should remove signs promptly after the sale and avoid attaching them to utility poles, traffic signs, or trees within the road right-of-way. For any sign questions in the Coastal Zone or near a state route, contact the County Planning Division (707-464-7254) or Caltrans. Confirm whether your sale location lies in the Coastal Zone, where additional development standards may apply.
Signs placed in the public or highway right-of-way may be removed by the County or Caltrans. There is no published County garage-sale sign permit; the main risks are right-of-way placement and failure to remove signs after the event.
