Showing ordinances that apply to Lockeford, CA
Lockeford is an unincorporated community (population 3,333) in San Joaquin County, California. Because Lockeford is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, San Joaquin County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The garage sale signs rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Unincorporated San Joaquin County allows temporary garage sale signs up to 4 square feet on the sale property and a limited number of directional signs, but prohibits attaching signs to utility poles, traffic signs, or placing them in the public right-of-way. Signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. Stockton, Lodi, and Manteca apply similar rules through their sign codes.
San Joaquin County Development Title §9-1040 and the corresponding sign chapters in Stockton Municipal Code §16.60, Lodi Municipal Code §17.49, and Manteca Municipal Code §17.58 permit temporary garage/yard sale signs with these standard conditions: on-site signs up to 4 to 6 square feet, up to 3 to 4 off-premises directional signs, posted no more than 48 hours before the sale, and removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. Attaching signs to utility poles, street-name signs, traffic signal poles, or trees in the right-of-way is prohibited and signs are subject to summary removal by Public Works. Signs may not obstruct driver sight triangles at intersections or driveways. Most county residents use 18x24-inch wire-frame yard signs placed on private property with permission of the owner. Garage sales themselves are generally allowed without a permit in the unincorporated county, though Stockton limits residents to 2 to 3 sales per year under Stockton Municipal Code §5.40 and requires each sale to be advertised only during the sale window. PG&E and telecommunications companies may also remove signs stapled to their poles under tariff rules.
Sign on a utility pole or traffic sign: removal plus $25 to $100 first offense. Sign left up more than 24 hours after sale: $25 per day per sign. Sign blocking sight triangle at intersection: immediate removal, $100 to $500 fine for safety hazard. Repeat offenders may be denied future garage sale permits (where cities require them).
