Full Breakdown
Section 122.06 limits garage sale advertising to two signs supplied by the city itself for a $25 refundable deposit: one on the sale property and one at the nearest corner. No sign may go on someone else's property without that owner's permission, and none may go on public property or in the public right-of-way. Flags, banners, and pennants are barred outright as advertising. Signs must come down by 8:00 p.m. the day the sale ends, and the deposit is refunded only if both signs come back to the city in good condition within 72 hours.
Violations & Fines
Posting more than two signs, placing them on public property or without an off-site owner's permission, using banned banners/flags, or leaving signs up past 8:00 p.m. on sale day violates § 122.06 and forfeits the deposit.
