Kaneohe homeowners may post garage sale signs on their own property without a permit, but cannot tack signs to utility poles, stop signs, or medians along Kaneohe Bay Drive or Kamehameha Highway.
ROH Sec. 21-7.20 treats temporary announcing signs for garage sales as exempt from permit requirements when posted on the sale property and sized within residential standards. Sec. 21-7.30 bans off-premise signs in public rights-of-way, which includes the utility poles along Lilipuna Road and the Windward Mall area often used by Kaneohe sellers. Signs should be removed within 24 hours of sale completion. Stapling signs to live trees is also generally prohibited under city maintenance ordinances.
City staff can remove off-premise signs, and repeat posters may receive citations under Article 7 enforcement.
