Garage sale signs in Rocklin are exempt from a sign permit but must stay on private property with the owner's permission per Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 17.75. Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or affixed to traffic signs — code enforcement removes those immediately and bills the responsible party for removal. The temporary noncommercial sign standards still cap them at 16 sq ft, 6 ft tall, set back 5 ft from property lines and 15 ft from hydrants, street signs, and traffic signals. The garage sale itself is also limited to three per property per year, three consecutive days, and is not allowed Monday through Thursday.
Per Rocklin's Common Code Violations and Temporary Noncommercial Signs pages (RMC Ch. 17.75): garage sale signs are exempt from the sign permit but follow the private-property rule and the same size/setback limits as other temporary noncommercial signs (16 sq ft, 6 ft, 5-ft setback, 15-ft clearance from hydrants/street signs/signals). The garage sale operation itself is capped at three sales per property per calendar year with at least 60 days between sales, no more than three consecutive days, and is prohibited Monday-Thursday; items for sale must remain on the host property.
Signs placed in the public right-of-way or affixed to utility poles or traffic signs are removed immediately, and the responsible party receives an administrative citation plus removal/disposal costs. Holding more than three sales per year, sales lasting more than three days, or sales Mon-Thu violate the garage sale rules and trigger code-enforcement action.
