Arapahoe County Land Development Code Section 5-2300 allows temporary garage sale signs on private property without a permit. Signs are limited to 4 sq ft and 3 days. Placement in the public right-of-way, utility poles, or traffic signs is prohibited and subject to immediate removal.
Temporary garage and yard sale signs are classified as 'temporary event signs' under Arapahoe County LDC Section 5-2300. No permit is required. Each property may display signs for a maximum of 3 consecutive days up to 4 times per calendar year. Individual signs cannot exceed 4 square feet. Off-premises directional signs are limited to 3 total and must be placed only with the consent of the underlying private property owner. Signs cannot be attached to utility poles, street trees, traffic control devices, or placed in the public right-of-way. Wire H-frame signs pushed into the right-of-way grass strip are routinely removed by Public Works. Signs must be taken down within 24 hours of the sale's end. Some HOAs within unincorporated Arapahoe County impose tighter rules.
Signs in right-of-way or on utility poles are removed on sight. Private-property violations trigger written notice with 3-day correction period. Fines escalate from $50 first offense to $250 for repeated violations.
