Garage and yard sale signs are temporary signs allowed on private property under CDC Division 18, must be removed promptly after the sale, and cannot be placed in the right-of-way.
Clearwater allows temporary garage sale or yard sale signs on private property under Article 3, Division 18 of the Community Development Code, alongside other temporary residential signage. Signs must be limited in size, posted only during the period of the sale, and removed within twenty-four hours after the event ends. Owners must obtain permission from any property where signs are posted and may not affix signs to utility poles, traffic signs, trees in the right-of-way, or place them in medians and swales. Clearwater also limits the frequency of garage sales at a single residence, often to a few times per calendar year, to prevent ongoing retail activity in residential zoning districts.
Signs left up after the sale or placed in the right-of-way can be removed by code enforcement, with civil citations issued for repeat offenses.
