Miami Beach, FL Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Sec. 86-83 of the City Code governs garage sale signage directly: no more than two signs per sale, each capped at 12 inches by 18 inches, none displayed on public property or the right-of-way, and none posted before the sale's first day or left up after its last day. This sits inside the broader garage sale article (Sec. ), which already requires a code compliance department permit before any sale, but the sign limits themselves are enforced as a standalone standard. Violations of Sec. 86-83, along with Sec.

86-58(d) and Secs. 86-81-86-82 (sale hours and merchandise display), carry a civil fine under Sec. 00 for each subsequent violation in that period. If a violator does not take down an illegal sign after a code compliance officer issues a citation, the officer may issue a second citation during the same sale. Enforcement runs through code compliance officers under Sec. 86-106, who must notify the violator of the nature of the violation, the fine amount, payment instructions, and the right to request an administrative hearing before a special magistrate within 20 days.

Failing to request that hearing waives the right to contest the citation and is treated as an admission. 11. The sign rule applies only to signs advertising the sale itself; it does not touch other commercial signage regulated elsewhere in the code.
