Port Orange, FL Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Section 18-76(2) ties the sign posting directly to the permitting process rather than treating it as a stand-alone signage rule: no garage or yard sale may be conducted unless a permit has first been obtained from the community development director on written application and payment of the prescribed fee. Once issued, that permit itself must be displayed on the subject property, and its function under the code is expressly to identify and advertise the garage or yard sale to the public, meaning the posted permit doubles as the sale's on-site sign.

A separate permit fee is charged for each individual sale, so a resident cannot reuse one posted permit across multiple sale dates in the year. Because Chapter 15 of the land development code, the city's general sign regulations, does not carve out a distinct exemption or standard for garage-sale advertising signs, the permit-posting requirement in § 18-76(2) is the operative rule governing what must be shown on the property during a sale. Residents who want to advertise beyond the property line, such as with directional signs at nearby intersections, fall outside this specific provision and would need to look to the city's general sign chapter for what is and is not allowed in the public right-of-way.
