Spokane County Zoning Code has no separate garage-sale sign category. Small temporary signs are exempt from a sign permit, but they may not be placed in the public right-of-way, must not block sight distance, and can't resemble traffic-control devices.
Under SCC 14.804.040, temporary signs are among the signs that do not require a sign permit, and small incidental signs (4 square feet or less) are also exempt. The county has no specific garage-sale or yard-sale sign chapter, so a garage-sale sign is treated as a temporary or incidental sign. General placement rules in SCC 14.804.110 still apply: signs cannot overhang or sit in any public right-of-way, must not interfere with pedestrian or vehicular accessibility or sight distance, and must comply with the clear-view triangle in Chapter 14.812. Signs that resemble or conflict with traffic-control devices, or create a safety hazard, are prohibited under SCC 14.804.050. Signs should be posted on private property with the owner's consent and removed after
Garage-sale signs in the right-of-way, on utility poles, or blocking sight lines may be removed by the county; enforcement is by Spokane County Building and Planning.
