Fayetteville's sign code has no garage-sale exemption and bans off-site signs, so directional yard-sale signs on corners, other lots, utility poles, or the right-of-way are prohibited. One sign on your own property is allowed as a non-commercial sign.
Fayetteville does not carve out garage- or yard-sale signs in UDC Chapter 174, and Sec. 174.08(H) makes it unlawful to erect any off-site sign. That means the usual practice of posting directional sale signs at intersections or on neighboring lots is not permitted. Signs on utility poles (Sec. 174.08(L)) and on right-of-way trees (Sec. 174.08(K)) are separately banned, and Sec. 174.07 reserves the public right-of-way for government signs. The compliant option is a single on-site sign at the sale, placed on your own property under the non-commercial sign allowance in Sec. 174.03(H).
Off-site or right-of-way garage-sale signs may be removed by the city and can draw a citation. Signs attached to utility poles or to right-of-way trees are prohibited and subject to removal.
