Richmond's Unified Development Code regulates temporary garage and yard sale signs, restricting their size, placement, and time of display under Article 4.7.
Under Richmond's Unified Development Code Article 4.7, temporary signs such as garage and yard sale signs are treated as temporary signage subject to size and duration limits. They may not be placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, traffic signs, or in medians, and must be removed promptly after the event. Signs placed unlawfully in the right-of-way are subject to removal by the City. Property owners are responsible for signs posted on their property and adjacent rights-of-way.
Signs posted in prohibited locations may be removed and discarded by the City. Repeat or commercial-scale violations can result in code-compliance citations and fines.
