Summary
Daytona Beach limits a garage sale to one sign of no more than four square feet, displayed only on the sale property and only during the permitted sale hours. The sign cannot go on a neighbor's property or in the public right-of-way.
One sign of not more than four square feet shall be permitted to be displayed on the property of the residence where a garage sale is being conducted pursuant to a permit issued under this article. Such sign shall be displayed only during the times of the sale as delineated on the permit. In no case shall the sign be placed on any property other than the property of the residence to which the permit has been issued or the public right-of-way.

Full Breakdown
City Code Sec. 74-96 caps garage sale signage at a single sign, four square feet or smaller, and it may only go up on the property where the permitted sale is actually happening. The sign has to come down when the sale isn't running: the code ties display to "the times of the sale as delineated on the permit," so a sign left out before or after the permitted window is itself a violation, not just an eyesore. Posting it anywhere else, including the public right-of-way or a neighbor's yard, is expressly barred by the same section.
This sign rule only applies to a sale that already holds a valid permit under Sec. 74-126, since Sec. 74-95 separately requires that sale merchandise stay inside the residence's permanent structures or normal yard areas, not spread across the lot to catch driver attention. The permit and licensing division issues the underlying permit and can restrict the time and location of the sale itself, which in turn controls when the one allowed sign may legally be displayed. Because the sign, display and permit sections sit together in article II of chapter 74, code enforcement treats an oversized sign, a second sign, or a sign posted off the residence's own lot as a straightforward reading of Sec.
74-96 rather than a judgment call. Any person who owns or controls the residential property where a noncompliant sign appears is independently liable, not just the person who put it up.
Violations & Fines
Violating Sec. 74-96 (or any other provision of the garage-sale article) is a Code violation punishable under the citywide general penalty, Sec. 1-14: a fine of up to $500.00 and/or up to 60 days imprisonment, with each day the sign remains up out of compliance charged as a separate offense. Sec. 74-94 makes both the person conducting the sale and the property owner or controller independently liable.
