Livonia allows small garage-sale signs on the seller's property during the sale. Signs in the public right-of-way or on utility poles are prohibited and removed by DPW.
The Livonia Sign Ordinance treats garage-sale and yard-sale signs as temporary on-site signs. A resident may post one sign on their own property up to 4 square feet in area, beginning the day before the sale and ending within 24 hours after the sale ends. Off-premises directional signs posted on neighborhood corners, utility poles, street-light poles, stop signs, and in the right-of-way are prohibited because they violate both the sign code and Michigan traffic control regulations. DPW regularly sweeps corridors on Monday mornings to remove illegal weekend signs, and repeat offenders may be invoiced for the labor. Signs cannot be illuminated, use reflective materials designed to mimic traffic signs, or obstruct the corner vision triangle. Commercial realty-style signs advertising estate sales by a paid company must comply with commercial temporary sign rules, which may require a permit.
