In unincorporated Sarasota County, garage-sale and other temporary signs may not be placed in the county right-of-way or on any public street. Signs must go on private property with the owner's consent and be removed promptly after the sale. Signs in the right-of-way may be removed by the county.
Sarasota County's sign regulations prohibit placing or erecting general signs, subdivision-entry signs, or special-event signs in the county right-of-way or on any public street. This ban covers garage-sale and yard-sale directional signs, which are frequently posted on utility poles and roadside verges. Garage-sale signs must instead be placed on private property with the property owner's permission and removed promptly once the sale ends. Signs are not permitted to block an intersection or driveway clear-sight triangle. The county periodically removes illegally placed roadside signs and has directed staff to clear signs from county rights-of-way. Inside the incorporated cities, each city's sign code applies.
Garage-sale signs placed in the right-of-way are subject to removal by the county; repeat or commercial violators may face code-enforcement citations.
