Full Breakdown
060 of Eastvale's garage sale chapter regulates advertising for the sales it otherwise limits to three per year. Subsection (a) bars posting, erecting, or maintaining any sign advertising a garage sale anywhere except on the premises where the sale will be held, and allows no more than one unlighted sign per sale on that property. The public right-of-way is off-limits entirely: no garage sale sign may be posted there, and the city or its designee may remove any right-of-way sign immediately and without notice, then bill the responsible party for the reasonable cost of removal.
Subsection (b) sets physical limits on the one sign that is allowed: it cannot exceed four square feet in area, and it cannot be displayed for more than five days before the garage sale lawfully begins. 040 still triggers same-day sign removal on its final day. 28, including the three-sales-per-year cap and the three-day maximum duration, and a garage sale sign violation exposes the seller to the same misdemeanor penalty that applies to the rest of the chapter.
Violations & Fines
Posting a garage sale sign on the public right-of-way lets the city remove it on the spot and bill the seller for removal costs. Beyond that direct remedy, violating the size, quantity, timing, or removal requirements of Section 6.28.060 is a misdemeanor under Section 6.28.070, punishable by a fine up to $1,000.00, up to six months in jail, or both.
