In unincorporated Clackamas County, garage-sale signs are temporary signs under ZDO Section 1010. A sign 3 square feet or less needs no permit, temporary signs may not display more than 60 days per year, and signs cannot go in the public right-of-way. Cities set their own rules.
Clackamas County does not have a garage-sale-specific sign ordinance; a yard-sale sign is a temporary sign under ZDO Section 1010. Signs having an area of three square feet or less do not require a sign permit but must meet the other Section 1010 provisions. Temporary signs may not be displayed for more than 60 days total in a calendar year, must be set behind the front property line, and must be physically anchored so they cannot blow away. Government-owned or posted signs are the only signs allowed in the public right-of-way, so garage-sale signs stapled to utility poles or placed on county roadway shoulders are not permitted. Along state highways, ODOT approval applies.
Temporary signs in the right-of-way or on utility poles can be removed by the county or road authority; repeated ZDO violations are handled by Code Enforcement.
