Miramar, FL Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

The Land Development Code lists 'Yard/garage sale signs' among the exempt sign types in LDC § 1010(r), meaning no separate sign or building permit is needed for the sign itself. The operative standard, printed later in the same section under the heading 'Yard/garage sale sign,' allows up to two signs per dwelling unit on residential property only. Each sign must sit at least five feet back from any public right-of-way, may not exceed six square feet of sign area (posts excluded), and may not stand taller than three feet including the post, measured from the yard at the post location.

Timing is tight: the sign may go up only one day before the sale and must come down the same day the sale ends, and any single parcel may post a sale sign no more than once every 180 days. Separately, City Code § 11-82 requires the underlying garage sale itself to be permitted through the community development department, with a fee set by council resolution, and it limits the sale to three consecutive days in any six-month period. That older section further states a garage sale may be advertised with 'only one (1) sign,' conforming to the city's residential 'For Sale' sign rules, a narrower cap than the two-sign, dimension-specific standard the LDC's § 1010 now codifies for the sign itself. Homeowners should follow the LDC's two-sign, five-foot-setback standard for the sign while still pulling the underlying sale permit under § 11-82 before posting anything.
