Small temporary signs like garage-sale signs are generally exempt from a permit under Section 10.5 of the Larimer County Land Use Code, but it is unlawful to post any sign in a public street or road right-of-way or on utility poles.
The Larimer County Land Use Code regulates all signs in unincorporated areas under Section 10 (Signs). Generally a permit is required for signs, with exceptions listed in Section 10.5 for signs of small size and limited time duration, which typically covers garage-sale and other temporary directional signs; they still must meet all applicable sign standards. The code specifically prohibits signs in rights-of-way: except for official signs, 'it is unlawful to erect or post any sign on a public street, road right-of-way, or on utility poles.' Signs illegally placed in road rights-of-way are removed without notice by the Road and Bridge Department or Code Compliance. Incorporated cities set their own temporary-sign rules.
Garage-sale signs posted in a public right-of-way or on utility poles are removed without notice; repeat violations can draw code compliance action.
