Garage sale, real estate, and other temporary signs in Pico Rivera are governed by Zoning Code Chapter 18.46. Temporary signs must sit on private property, be removed after the event, and cannot be posted in the public right-of-way on poles, trees, or parkways.
Pico Rivera regulates all signs, including temporary garage-sale and real estate signs, under Chapter 18.46 of the Zoning Code (Signs and Advertising), whose intent is to prohibit signs except as specifically permitted. Real estate signs relate to the sale, lease, or disposition of property, are temporary in nature, and must be removed once the property is sold or leased. Temporary event signs such as garage-sale placards are expected to be posted only during the event and removed afterward. Consistent with the city's sign-placement rules, temporary signs cannot be attached to public trees, utility poles, or placed on parkways, medians, or other public right-of-way areas. Check Chapter 18.46 or contact the Planning Division for exact size and duration limits before posting.
Posting garage-sale or temporary signs on public property, poles, or trees, or leaving them up after the event, can lead to removal and a code enforcement notice.
