Cape Coral regulates temporary garage sale signs under its sign ordinance. Signs directing traffic to garage sales must comply with size, placement, and duration limits under Article 7 of the Land Use and Development Regulations.
Garage sale signs are considered temporary signs and are allowed without a permit subject to restrictions. Signs may not be placed in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, traffic signs, or medians. Signs are typically limited in size and number per property. They must be displayed only during the sale period and removed promptly after the sale ends. Signs must not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular sight lines. The city periodically removes unauthorized signs from rights-of-way.
Signs in the public right-of-way are removed by the city without notice. Repeat placement of signs in prohibited locations may result in code enforcement action and fines. Failure to remove signs after the sale may trigger a violation notice.
