Garage sale signs are temporary signs in unincorporated Douglas County: no permit is needed, but they must be on private property, not in the public right-of-way, and must be removed within seven days after the sale ends. Right-of-way sign rules are enforced by the road agency.
Under Section 2912 of the Zoning Resolution, temporary signs such as garage sale signs need no sign permit and are limited to 90 total display days per calendar year. Section 2912.02 requires that signs be removed within seven days of the completion of the purpose for which they were erected. Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way without approval from the agency controlling that right-of-way; the county or town may remove illegal right-of-way signs. Size limits in residential districts allow small signs of six square feet or less without numeric cap during the fall election window.
Signs left up past seven days or placed in the public right-of-way may be removed by the county without notice.
