Temporary garage/yard sale signs are allowed without a permit but may not exceed 9 square feet each. They may go up no more than 24 hours before the sale and must be removed within 24 hours after, and never in the public right-of-way.
CZO Article 24.9.F governs temporary residential garage and yard sale signs citywide. Each sign is capped at 9 square feet and is exempt from the sign-permit requirement. Timing is strict: signs may be posted no more than 24 hours before the event and must be removed within 24 hours after it ends. Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way or off-premises (for example, stapled to utility poles or planted on other blocks). Historic-district properties may face added limits. These rules keep temporary signage from becoming permanent clutter.
Off-premises, oversized, or right-of-way garage-sale signs may be removed by the city, and repeat violations can be cited by Safety and Permits.
