Full Breakdown
4 of the Municipal Code, the Advertising provision of the City's garage sale ordinance, states that it is unlawful to place a sign or other form of advertisement of a proposed garage sale upon any public property within the City or upon any other property within the City, except upon the premises where the sale is conducted. on the termination day of each sale, and only one sign, not exceeding fifteen by twenty inches in size, may be placed in the front or side yard of the premises where the sale is conducted.
Flags and other attention-getting devices are separately banned. Because the rule sits inside Article 5's permit scheme, a sign posted without an underlying garage sale permit, or a sign advertising a sale at an address other than the seller's own, both fall outside the premises exception and are treated as illegal advertising on public or another's property. 5, have inspection and closure authority over sale premises, which extends to sign compliance as part of the overall Article 5 enforcement scheme.
Violations & Fines
Posting a garage sale sign on public property, on someone else's property without consent, larger than 15 by 20 inches, more than two days before the sale, or left up past 6:00 p.m. on the last sale day violates Section 5-83.4. Enforcement runs through the same Article 5 mechanism as other garage sale violations: inspection and closure authority under Section 5-83.5, and repeat or convicted violators can lose garage sale permit eligibility at that address for three years under Section 5-83.7.
