Orland Park, IL Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Orland Park treats garage sale signs as temporary signs under the same content-neutral rules that govern political and other temporary signage. Signs may be placed on the property where the sale is held (typical limit of 6 to 12 sq ft total temporary sign area) and on other private property with the owner's permission. Placement in Village rights-of-way is prohibited and includes the parkway between sidewalk and street, medians, traffic signal poles, utility poles, and street signs. Signs in these locations are removed without notice by Village staff. Signs must be removed within 24 hours of the end of the sale. Many garage sale signs in Orland Park are stapled or taped to utility poles, which is also a violation of the Village right-of-way rules and may be cited. Fluorescent or directional signs at intersections that obstruct sight triangles for drivers create safety hazards and are removed regardless of placement. Many subdivisions hold annual community-wide garage sale weekends; these typically operate under a Village-approved framework but individual sign rules still apply.
