Garage sale signs in Rialto are regulated as temporary signs under Title 18, Chapter 18.78 (Sign Regulations) and as part of garage sale rules typically administered through Code Enforcement/Business Licensing. Signs may not be posted in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or on street trees, and must be removed promptly after the sale.
Rialto Municipal Code Ch. 18.78 governs temporary signs city-wide, including garage/yard sale signs. Standard practice in Rialto and surrounding San Bernardino County cities: signs must be on private property with owner permission, limited in size (typically under 6 sq ft for residential temporary signs), and removed within 24-48 hours of the sale's end. Posting on public property — street signs, light poles, traffic signal boxes, parkway trees — is prohibited under Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places) and Ch. 18.78. Garage sales themselves are limited in number per address per year through Title 5 (Business Licenses) administrative rules; signs advertising sales beyond those limits are also subject to removal.
Code Enforcement removes signs from the public right-of-way without notice. Cited violations are infractions under Rialto MC Title 1 general penalty, with fines that escalate per occurrence. Repeated commercial-style posting (real estate, business, contractor signs disguised as garage sale signs) may draw additional citations under Ch. 18.78 enforcement.
