Bethel, CT Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

3D, but the exemption carries specific conditions rather than a blanket pass. No more than six signs are permitted for a single tag sale event, and no individual sign may exceed four square feet in size. Timing is fixed on both ends: a sign may go up one day before the sale starts, and it must come down no later than one day after the sale ends, so a weekend sale cannot leave signage up for a week. The provision also bars any sign that would obstruct or interfere with pedestrian or vehicular visibility, which reaches placement at corners, driveway aprons, or anywhere sight lines to traffic would be blocked.

3B, which requires that a sign not be structurally altered or changed beyond how the exemption describes it. The section also notes elsewhere that certain exempt signs may still need a building permit or encroachment permit in some circumstances, though tag sale signs on private residential property ordinarily do not trigger that additional layer.
