Kootenai County has no garage-sale-sign-specific rule. A garage sale sign on your own property is a temporary on-premise sign (up to 28 days/year, 12 sq ft, 8 ft in residential zones). Off-premise directional signs on other property or road rights-of-way are generally prohibited.
The Kootenai County Land Use and Development Code regulates signs by type, not by message, so a garage sale sign follows the temporary-sign rules. On your own lot in a residential or agricultural zone, LUDC 8.4.805(B)(3) permits unlighted, portable or temporary signs for up to 28 days per calendar year, capped at 12 sq ft and 8 feet high. Under 8.4.804(K), off-premise signs are prohibited in every zone, with only a narrow exception for temporary event signs or banners (up to 14 days/year, with the property owner's permission), so posting garage sale signs on someone else's property or in road rights-of-way is not allowed. Signs must not block corner visibility.
Off-premise or oversized garage sale signs are prohibited signs subject to removal and enforcement under the land use code.
