Full Breakdown

3(G) of the Chandler Sign Code governs 'Yard Signs,' capped at six square feet in area and four feet in height. 22 et seq. Subsection (G)(3) confirms 'no permit shall be required to display yard signs,' so a homeowner can post directional garage-sale signs the morning of the sale without any City paperwork, provided the size, ten-sign route limit, and setback are respected.

Violations & Fines

Because yard signs are exempt from the standard notice-and-cure process, Section 39-6.4(B) lets the Zoning Administrator remove an illegal yard sign, oversized, left up outside sale days, or planted in the public right-of-way, without advance written notice, particularly one attached to a utility pole, street light, or government sign post. Signs found on public property are simply taken down.
