Miami restricts temporary garage sale signs under Miami 21 zoning code provisions. Signs are permitted on private property during the sale but prohibited on public rights-of-way, utility poles, and traffic signs. Signs must be removed after the sale ends.
Garage sale signs on private property are limited in size in residential areas. Signs may not be placed on utility poles, traffic signs, or in the public right-of-way. Directional signs on other private property require the owner's permission. Signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale concludes. No permit is required for temporary garage sale signs within size limits on private property.
Signs on utility poles or in the right-of-way may be removed by the city. Failure to remove signs after a sale may result in code enforcement action and fines.
