Orlando regulates garage sale signs as temporary signs under the sign code. Signs may be placed on the property where the sale occurs but are prohibited in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, and on traffic signs. Temporary directional signs for garage sales must comply with size limitations and must be removed promptly after the sale ends.
Garage sale signs in Orlando are treated as temporary signs. Property owners may display signs on their own property during the sale without a permit, subject to size limits (typically 6 square feet or less). Off-site directional signs placed on other private property require the property owner's permission. Signs in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, traffic signs, or trees are prohibited and subject to removal by code enforcement. All garage sale signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale concludes.
Signs in right-of-way: removed by city. Failure to remove after sale: code violation notice. Repeat offenders: fines up to $100.
