Nashua, NH Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Nashua Revised Ordinances § 190-94B(18) exempts 'temporary signs, which advertise garage or yard sales or lost pets' from the sign permit requirement that otherwise applies under Article X of Chapter 190. That exemption only removes the permit: it doesn't exempt the sign from Article X's general temporary sign standards in § 190-106B, which apply to all temporary signs unless § 190-94 says otherwise. So a garage-sale sign must stay off public property and the right-of-way, sit back at least 10 feet from any right-of-way (25 feet at an intersection), run no larger than 32 square feet, stand no taller than 8 feet, last no more than 30 days, and carry its posting date on the face.
