Garage and yard sale signs in unincorporated Pinellas County are temporary signs allowed only on the seller's property and must come down within 24 hours of the sale under Sec. 138-3753.
Sec. 138-3753 treats garage and yard sale signs as temporary noncommercial signs exempt from permitting if placed only on the property hosting the sale. Off-site directional signs in rights-of-way, on utility poles, or affixed to traffic devices are prohibited and subject to summary removal. Sec. 138-3756 caps temporary residential signs at modest dimensions. The Pinellas County code enforcement division actively removes weekend yard sale signs from medians and intersections. Florida Statute 337.407 reinforces that signs in state and county rights-of-way are unauthorized.
Signs placed in rights-of-way are removed without notice and may trigger fines starting around $100 per sign for repeat offenders. Continuing violations escalate through the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate.
