Full Breakdown
Meridian City Code Section 3-4-11(H) limits garage, yard, and similar sales to four temporary signs per sale, each capped at six square feet. Signs cannot be posted on property without that owner's permission, and every sign must come down within 24 hours after the sale ends. The same section caps garage sales generally at three consecutive days, bars more than four sales per address per year, and prohibits sales between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. No temporary use permit is required for a garage sale itself.
Violations & Fines
Infraction with a $100 penalty per violation; each day a violating sign remains posted counts as a separate offense, enforced by police or code enforcement officers.
