Roseville, MN Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Section 1010.09 opens by saying no permit or permit fee is required for the listed temporary signs, however all other provisions of Chapter 1010 apply. Paragraph (4) then sets the garage and yard sale rule: the sign is displayed only during the term of the sale and is removed when the sale is completed. The sign rule sits beside the sale limits in section 1011.12(g)(2)a, which permits garage sales and residential boutique sales as accessory uses in residential districts but caps them at three sales each calendar year per dwelling unit, no more than three consecutive days per sale or nine total days in duration per year, with daily hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Other Chapter 1010 provisions control where the sign goes. Section 1010.03(c)(1) says no sign will be attached to trees or utility poles, and section 1010.03(c)(3) bars any sign from overhanging the public right-of-way, sidewalk easement, walkway easement or bicycle path easement. Under section 1010.04(d)(2), the city can impound signs installed on public property or within public right-of-way or easement at any time and without notice. Section 1010.04(e)(1) separately states that all signs, including temporary signs, shall have an approved permit prior to installation, which sits alongside the section 1010.09 exemption, so the Community Development Department is the office to ask about a particular sale.
