Citrus Heights generally allows small garage-sale signs on private property with the homeowner's permission. Signs in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, traffic signs, or street-tree trunks are prohibited and may be removed. Signs must be taken down within 24 hours after the sale.
Temporary garage-sale and open-house signs fall under the city's temporary signage regulations. Typical rules: maximum 4-6 square feet, maximum 4 feet in height, no illumination, not attached to public property (utility poles, street signs, traffic signals, trees in the parkway). Signs placed on private property require the property owner's permission. Directional signs may be allowed in limited locations but must be removed within 24 hours of the sale's end. Public Works removes illegal right-of-way signs without notice. Under Reed v. Gilbert, the city cannot impose harsher rules on garage-sale signs than on other temporary noncommercial signs of the same size.
Illegal right-of-way signs may be removed without notice. Chronic violators may be cited under Municipal Code administrative citation provisions.
