Sacramento regulates temporary signs including garage sale signs under the City's sign ordinance (Chapter 15.148). Garage sale signs are permitted on private property but are prohibited in the public right-of-way including on utility poles, street signs, and medians. Signs must not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic sight lines.
Temporary garage sale signs on private property do not require a permit but must comply with size limitations for temporary signs in residential zones. Signs placed on public property, utility poles, or in the right-of-way are subject to removal by the City. The Department of Public Works may remove illegally placed signs without notice. Residents are responsible for removing their garage sale signs promptly after the sale ends.
Signs placed illegally in the public right-of-way may be removed and disposed of by the City. Repeat violations may result in administrative citations. Property owners may be charged for removal costs.
