Kailua homeowners can post garage sale signs on their own property without a permit, but posting on public poles, medians, or other off-premise right-of-way spots is prohibited and signs may be removed.
Under ROH Sec. 21-7.20, temporary announcing signs for garage and yard sales fall within exempt temporary sign categories when placed on the sale property itself and sized within district standards. Sec. 21-7.30 prohibits off-premise signs in public rights-of-way, which includes the telephone poles and stop sign posts along Oneawa Street and Hamakua Drive where Kailua sellers often tack up flyers. Signs should be removed immediately after the sale concludes, and durable materials posted long term can be treated as illegal permanent signage.
City workers can remove off-premise signs, and repeated posting can lead to citations under the sign code enforcement.
