Canton treats garage sale signs as temporary signs under Codified Ordinance 1187.11: permit-exempt, capped at 6 square feet for a small sign, displayed up to 30 consecutive days, on private property, and not illuminated. Signs in the public right-of-way can be removed.
Garage and yard sale signs fall under Canton's temporary-sign rules in Codified Ordinance 1187.11. Temporary signs are exempt from permit requirements and may be displayed up to a maximum of 30 consecutive days, two times per year. A small temporary sign has a maximum area of six square feet. The ordinance also requires that the date of erection be written in indelible ink on the lower right-hand corner, that signs be durable and well-maintained, and that they not be illuminated. Signs must go on private property with permission, not on utility poles, tree lawns, or the public right-of-way, where the city may remove them. Township rules apply in unincorporated areas.
Sale signs placed in the right-of-way, on utility poles, or on public property may be removed by the city without notice. Repeat or oversized signs can bring code-enforcement action.
