Rogers, AR Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

The Rogers Unified Development Code sign standards (Sec. 5.8) regulate temporary signage rather than calling out garage- or yard-sale signs specifically. Under the temporary-sign provisions (Sec. 5.8.11.5), a temporary sign is valid 'for up to ten (10) business days,' and one ten-business-day extension is allowed upon request — a window that comfortably covers a weekend garage sale. The general sign rules that apply to political and other temporary signs also constrain placement: signs are not allowed in city rights-of-way, on bridges, utility poles, traffic signals, or street signs, and posting on private property requires the owner's consent. For comparison, the code does separately address residential real-estate signs (Sec. 5.8.7.13), limiting an on-site residential sign to six square feet without a rider (eight with riders) and six feet in height, with removal required within 72 hours of closing — useful context for what the city considers a reasonable small residential temporary sign. Because garage-sale signs are not separately defined, the safest approach is to keep directional sale signs small, on private property with the owner's permission, out of the public right-of-way and off poles and traffic devices, and to take them down promptly after the sale. Arkansas does not set statewide garage-sale-sign rules, so the Rogers sign code controls. Confirm any size or duration questions with the city's sign administrator.
