Evansville, IN Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

So long as a property owner is in compliance with EMC 18.130.140, a property owner may place a temporary sign approximately six square feet in size in his yard, or if he has no yard, and the house or principal building abuts the public sidewalk, then in the grassy area between the sidewalk and the curb or street pavement, notifying the public of a garage sale or yard sale taking place on that parcel of property so long as placement of the sign does not constitute a sight distance problem for vehicular traffic. The sign may be installed the day before the yard sale and shall be removed at the conclusion of the yard sale. No off-premises yard sale or garage sale signs shall be allowed in the right-of-way.

(5) In the situation where the house or principal building abuts a public sidewalk, a person may place a temporary “For Sale,” “For Rent,” or “For Lease” sign approximately six square feet in area, in the grassy area, if any, between the curb and the sidewalk of the property during the time period said property, or a portion thereof, is for sale or lease, so long as a placement of the sign does not present a sight distance problem for vehicular traffic.
