Hall County, GA Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Sec. F defines residential temporary signs as temporary signs on residentially zoned property and lists just two standards: a 6-square-foot maximum area and a 15-foot setback from side and rear property lines. The definition of "temporary sign" in Sec. 2 caps the general display period for this sign category at 30 days, though a garage sale sign should come down far sooner because Sec. B limits a yard or garage sale itself to 72 hours per event and no more than four sales on the same property in any 12-month period, with no goods purchased for resale or consignment allowed.

Because garage sale signs are treated as residential temporary signs rather than as a separate sign category, they are also subject to the general sign standards of Sec. D, meaning the sign must be kept free of rust, broken parts, or fading, and Sec. 3's prohibited-sign list, which bars any sign painted on or attached to trees, fence posts, or utility poles and bars signs placed within a street or highway right-of-way.
