Fresno, CA Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Section 15-2760(A)(1) lists yard and garage sales among the temporary uses that don't need a Temporary Use Permit, provided they follow a set of standards, and subsection (e) covers signage directly: "Signs may be displayed only during the hours the garage sale is actively being conducted and shall be removed at the completion of the sale. , so a sign left up overnight or posted before the sale opens is already out of compliance, independent of where it's placed. The right-of-way ban covers the parkway strip, sidewalk area, and street frontage the city maintains, and the utility pole/cabinet ban targets a common self-serve advertising habit that creates visual clutter and can obstruct utility access.

Signage sits alongside the section's other garage sale conditions, no more than four sales per premises per year, a two-consecutive-day limit per event, no more than two consecutive weekends, and display of sale merchandise confined to the residence's own property, all enforced together as a single temporary-use package under the Citywide Development Code.
