Sec. 26-180(d)(6) exempts yard sale signs from a permit but sets strict limits. Each sign must be located on-premises only and may not sit in a public right-of-way or be placed on a tree, road sign, or utility pole. Signs cannot be illuminated, cannot exceed 4 square feet in size or 4 feet in height, and only one is allowed per road frontage. All yard sale signs must be removed within 24 hours of the completion of the activity being advertised. Inside a city, that municipality's sign ordinance applies instead.
Off-premises or right-of-way yard sale signs may be removed by the county, and repeated violations are enforced by the Planning Department under the Land Development Code.
