Full Breakdown
Under city code § 32-73, signs advertising a residential (garage, porch, room, backyard or patio) sale must be removed within twenty-four (24) hours of the completion of the activity, and may not be placed closer than twelve (12) feet of the curb line. Only the sign approved and issued by the city may be used: the $10 residential sale permit fee under § 32-78 includes three compliant signs. This applies only inside Midwest City limits, not in neighboring Oklahoma City, Del City, Choctaw, Nicoma Park, or Spencer, and not on Tinker Air Force Base, each with its own rules.
Violations & Fines
Leaving a sign up past the 24-hour deadline, placing one within 12 feet of the curb, or using a non-city-issued sign violates § 32-73; § 32-75 makes each violation date a separate offense.
