Lake Havasu City, AZ Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Table 4.08-1's garage sale sign entry allows up to 2 signs per sale with a 4 square foot area maximum for each. The other-conditions column requires the sign to be freestanding, meaning it cannot be nailed, taped, or wired to a fence, wall, or utility pole, and it must be removed as soon as the sale is finished rather than left standing afterward. Placement on the street right-of-way, meaning the curb, parkway, or roadway shoulder, is barred outright, and if the sign goes on someone else's private property the seller needs that owner's prior permission first.

The code's definitions section separately defines a garage sale sign as one advertising the resale of personal property that has been used by the resident, distinguishing it from a commercial retail sign, which is why it gets its own lighter-touch permit exemption instead of the standard permit process that applies to permanent business signage under Table 4.08-2. The same exempt-sign table treats other short-lived residential signage the same way: open house directional signs in the row just above garage sale signs are likewise permit-free but limited to the duration of the sale itself, showing the city's consistent approach of trading a permit requirement for a strict, self-enforcing time limit.
