Showing ordinances that apply to Cascade-Chipita Park, CO
Cascade-Chipita Park is an unincorporated community (population 1,628) in El Paso County, Colorado. Because Cascade-Chipita Park is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, El Paso County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The garage sale signs rules below are the ones that govern your area.
El Paso County allows garage sale signs on private property with permission. Signs in public rights-of-way are prohibited and subject to removal. Signs must be posted no more than 48 hours before the sale and removed within 24 hours after.
El Paso County Land Development Code treats garage sale signs as temporary signs. On private property with owner permission, signs up to 4 square feet are allowed without permit. Directional off-premises signs are only permitted on private property, not on public rights-of-way, utility poles, street signs, or CDOT highway right-of-way. Signs may be posted 48 hours before the sale starts and must be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. The County does not require garage sale permits for residents holding occasional sales (typically 3 or fewer per year). More frequent sales may be classified as home occupations requiring review. Public Works and Sheriff's Office routinely remove signs from rights-of-way and near intersections. In Colorado Springs, Sign Code §7.4.204 applies similar rules with sign size capped at 4 sq ft.
Signs on utility poles or ROW: removal without notice, typically no fine for first occurrence but repeat offenders fined $50. Signs not removed within 24 hours of sale: $25 per sign per day. Signs obstructing traffic sight lines: immediate removal and potential $100 fine.
