Garage sale signs in Folsom may be posted only on the sale property itself with the owner's consent. Signs on utility poles, traffic signs, landscape medians, or any public right-of-way are prohibited and removed by the city without notice.
Folsom Municipal Code Title 17 (Sign Ordinance) and Streets Division policy prohibit the placement of any temporary signs — including garage sale, open house, lost pet, and event signs — on public property, utility poles, street trees, traffic control devices, or within the public right-of-way. Signs may be placed on the private property hosting the sale with the owner's permission, and typically limited in size (no more than 6 sq ft per sign) and in number (one sign per street frontage). Signs must be removed promptly at the end of the sale. The city routinely sweeps neighborhoods and major intersections to remove illegally posted signs; repeated offenders may receive citations. Taping signs to stop signs or light poles creates a safety hazard and is always prohibited under Vehicle Code §21465 (no unauthorized signs resembling traffic control).
Signs in right-of-way removed without notice. Administrative citation $50-$250 for repeated placements. Sale-property signs left past the sale end: citation after 48 hours.
