Laguna Niguel limits garage sales to eight days per year (7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) under LNMC 9-1-35.9, and no sale item may obstruct the right-of-way. Garage-sale signs fall under the temporary sign rules of LNMC 9-1-74, which prohibit sign placement in public rights-of-way except as specifically allowed.
Garage sales are regulated by LNMC 9-1-35.9, which permits them as temporary accessory uses in residential districts a maximum of eight days per calendar year per residence, with hours no earlier than 7:00 a.m. and no later than 8:00 p.m. No sale item may obstruct any public right-of-way, sidewalk, or driveway. Advertising signs for garage sales are treated as temporary signs under LNMC 9-1-74. Section 9-1-77(15) prohibits signs on or over public streets and rights-of-way unless an exception applies, and the only exception is for designated seasonal non-commercial signs. As a result, garage-sale signs may generally be posted only on private property with consent, not on utility poles or the parkway; right-of-way signs are barred under 9-1-71.3(e) unless exempted.
Posting garage-sale signs in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or on street signs violates LNMC 9-1-77, and running a sale beyond eight days per year or outside 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. violates 9-1-35.9. Code Compliance may remove signs.
