Garage and yard sale signs in unincorporated Kings County fall under the county Development Code sign article (Article 14). In county parks, posting any sign or handbill requires the Parks Director's approval under Code of Ordinances Sec. 16-20. Signs may not be placed in the public road right-of-way.
Temporary garage- and yard-sale signs in the unincorporated areas of Kings County are addressed through the county Development Code's sign article (Article 14, Signs and Signage Regulations); the county Code of Ordinances has no separate sign chapter. Temporary signs typically must be placed on private property with the owner's permission, must not obstruct visibility at intersections or driveways, and must not be posted in the public road right-of-way or on utility poles, traffic signs, or other public structures. Posting signs on county park land is separately restricted: Kings County Code of Ordinances Section 16-20(b)(1) makes it unlawful for any person within any park to display any sign, handbill, or paper that is an advertisement, notice, or decoration without the Parks Director's approval (Ord. No. 623). Because the precise size, number, duration, and removal rules for garage-sale signs are set in the Development Code sign article rather than in the general Code of Ordinances, owners should confirm the current standards with the Kings County Community Development Agency, and should remove signs promptly after the sale ends to avoid being treated as abandoned or illegal signage.
Signs placed in the public right-of-way or on public structures may be removed as illegal signage, and posting advertisement signs in a county park without the Parks Director's approval violates Code of Ordinances Section 16-20. Sign violations under the Development Code are enforceable by the Community Development Agency.
