Full Breakdown
Converse allows temporary garage sale signs subject to strict placement and removal rules. Signs must be placed only on private property with the owner's consent and must not be attached to utility poles, traffic signs, street signs, trees in rights-of-way, or any public infrastructure. Size limits typically cap each sign at 4 to 6 square feet. Signs may be posted starting the day before the sale and must be removed within 24 hours after the sale concludes. Signs left up after the deadline are considered litter and may be collected by code enforcement or city crews, with potential fines assessed to the person named on the sign or the property owner. Neon colors and reflective materials that impair traffic visibility at intersections are discouraged. Directional arrow signs must still follow private-property placement rules. Homeowners can report abandoned sale signs to code enforcement.
